HOLLYWOOD -
Paul McCartney’s estranged wife
Heather Mills is planning a Hollywood film about her life--and wants Oscar winner
Reese Witherspoon to take the starring role, according to reports.
Mills, 39--who is about to reach a massive divorce settlement with the former Beatle--flew out to New York on Friday to arrange an interview with talk-show host
Larry King. She is believed to be extending her trip so she can meet with film writer and producer Robert von Dassanowsky to discuss the secret film project.
A source tells British newspaper The Daily Mail, "Heather has been working for some time on the biopic. Of course, it had been shelved while she thought they were heading for a settlement. But the script was dusted off pretty rapidly over the weekend.
"She had wanted
Heather Locklear to play her. She now feels someone with slightly more credibility, like
Reese Witherspoon, should play her. Heather wants an unknown to play
Paul."
A spokesman for Mills and McCartney, 65, refused to comment.
