Daisy Edgar-Jones is set to play Carole King in the musical biopic 'Beautiful.'
Daisy Edgar-Jones will play legendary singer-songwriter, Carole King, in Beautiful, a movie adaptation of the Broadway production Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. The musical will be helmed by Oscar-nominee Lisa Cholodenko. Variety reports that the long-in-the-works adaptation is moving forward; Sony acquired the rights to the musical, as well as King's songs, seven years ago.
King herself approves of Edgar-Jones' casting, saying "Daisy has a spirit and energy that I recognized as myself when I was younger. She’s a tremendous talent and I know she’s going to give a great performance." King is one of the most successful female songwriters of all time, having written or co-written over 100 Billboard hits; she also achieved success performing her own songs with the chart-topping 1971 album Tapestry.
English actor Edgar-Jones starred in the British TV series Cold Feet and War of the Worlds, before breaking out worldwide in the acclaimed miniseries Normal People. 2022 has been a banner year for her, as she starred in the true crime miniseries Under the Banner of Heaven, the black comedy thriller Fresh, and the surprise Southern Gothic hit Where the Crawdads Sing.
