Madonna is Candy Darling
Perfect casting.
No possible argument.
Lorna Luft, Judy Garland's daughter, owns the screen rights to Candy Darling's published diaries, "My Face for the World to See."
Luft said she was looking for "a boy who has to be unbelievably beautiful" to play the lead role in the movie.
Madonna has stated on numerous occasions that "I'm a man trapped in a woman's body."
So the news in today's Washington Post Style section that Madonna has indeed landed the role of Candy Darling (born James Lawrence Slattery) in the upcoming Darling biopic is refreshing.
No trying to cram the wrong star into a role and then wondering why, say, Woody Allen somehow just didn't work out as Genghis Khan.
Darling (above) starred in several of Andy Warhol's experimental films of the late 60s and early 70s, and was the inspiration behind the Velvet Underground song "Candy Says" and Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side."

Candy Darling Style
(Andy Warhol Superstar)
Candy Darling Style,
a catalyst for change,
when your not born,
Platinum, Palladium or Gold,
behold,
you transformed into Rhodium,
to become an,
Andy Warhol Superstar.
Behold,
you were born a man,
but in the end,
you could out do,
the supermodels on the cat walks of Milan,
That's Candy Darling Style.
Transformations were your specialty,
but inside you never changed,
Always the one who loved,
but your outside blossomed into,
the beauty you felt in your heart,
Andy Warhol Superstar.
You lit up New York,
showed them how it is done,
Madonna might want your part,
but you were the original Queen of the Factory,
the envy of Manhattan's elite,
Now that is Candy Darling Style.
In the end you paid the price,
the cost of the transformation took your life,
Gloria Swanson from Sunset Boulevard,
saw you buried,
and you are the envy of Hollywood,
as no actor anywhere could transform anymore,
to fit the part,
Now that is Candy Darling Style,
Andy Warhol Superstar.
