Came across this news:
"Composer Richard Thomas is writing the libretto for a contemporary piece, to be staged at the Royal Opera House in 2010.
He said the tragic life story of Ms Smith, a former stripper who died from an overdose of prescription drugs a year ago, was "a classic American tale about celebrity" which was "intrinsically operatic".
The production, still in the early stages of development, is intended to be shown on the main stage at the Royal Opera House, accompanied by a 90-piece orchestra. "

Well it can't be worse than the Willa Ford biopic.
