I was watching SNL last night and the guest host was Jenna Ortega. I've never heard of her before.. I think physically speaking she could very well play Linda. Not sure if she can sing. She has a cute profile with the bangs, large dark eyes and similar mouth/ lips as Linda. She also has long slender legs and she is A Latina.. What do you think?

She definitely has the look but I don't think she can sing. Not sure if that matters as they would have a hard time finding anyone that could match Linda's vocal talent.
People were always shocked at Linda being only 5'2" because in photos and film she has such long legs that make her look taller. Jenna is 5'1"
Good call Diana
I have heard rumblings about a biopic on Linda in the works but that is just a rumor.
I think Hayley Orrantia should also be in the running.

Baltin: Do you have a favorite film?
Orrantia: It's tough. It spans so many different things. I do love this film, it's an indie movie. Maybe it wouldn't be considered indie, but it's called Comet.It's starring Emmy Rossum and Justin Long. I love Comet. I feel like no one knows it when I bring it up, and it is by far one of my favorite movies. I love things like that, and I'm sure if I were to try to dip my toe into writing something, it would come out more in that vein. But as far as producing things, I want to be able to tell stories of strong women in particular. I love autobiography, so I'd love to do a movie where even if I get to play, whether it's a Linda Ronstadt, I've been hearing that a lot lately, people are like, "You should do a Linda Ronstadt biopic." Or, one in particular I always get compared to a lot is Leah Remini. And I'm like, "Well, do I want to do a biopic telling her story through Scientology and that experience?" I like the idea of telling those sort of stories. I also have my own stories, I probably should get writing. But, strong female leads ideally.

I've never heard of Hayley. I've heard of the Goldbergs. She's a really good singer too Interesting others have suggested to her a Linda Biopic... At some point, I'm sure there will be one of Linda... and it seems to be the current trend right now. Of course, we all know If Linda has a big say in.. it won't be a kiss and tell... so I don't know how they would work around all of that .. Stay tuned.
