Angelina Jolie Gets Patricia Cornwell’s Approval
Angelina Jolie would be “brilliant” as forensic medical examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta, according to the character’s creator, author Patricia Cornwell.
Patricia Cornwell, the award-winning writer behind the crime thrillers starring Dr. Kay Scarpetta, admits that she’s happy for the award-winning star to take on the coveted role.
“She has an interesting edge to her, I just have no doubt in my mind that she’ll do a brilliant job if she’s given the opportunity,” she said.
“If Angelina does do it, and it’s an if – she has to like the screenplay and be happy with everything – she will bring something very interesting to it. She will probably bring things to the character that go beyond what I do with it.”
She added: “I think she can play anything she wants, and it’s not just because she’s a superstar. This is a very gifted, very intelligent person and she’s a very fine actress – and a very courageous one for that matter.”
Patricia has already met up with the Oscar-winning actress and given her tips. “When I saw her last April, I told her ‘I hope Scarpetta takes you over like she has me, because if she does, then you will play her the way she ought to be played’.”
