I glanced over the link quickly Janie, thanks for posting it. I read a comment in the article that just got me wondering. I know that perhaps my question is not P/C correct, however NO offense is intended to anyone. The comment was that Dusty HATED her color she was. Of course we all know that Dusty loved the music of Motown and so on, but that doesn't not necessarily mean that she hated her color.
Any thoughts?

This is the comment/section that I think you were referring to from the article Marty?: Walsh is also preparing for the filming of “Chatroom,” a movie targeted at a teenage demographic, which will be directed by “The Ring” director Hideo Nakata. Thereafter his film about legendary soul singer Springfield will go into production.
“She’s quite an interesting character because she actually hated her own voice. That’s a wonderful place to begin with,” says Walsh.
“She’s this Irish/Scottish girl living in Ealing, London and she loves black music and eventually loved black women -- she hated the color she was and her own voice. It’s great music, and the approach of this film will quite different to the usual biopic.”
I can remember from way back reading an article in which it was reported that Dusty stated she wished she had been Black. I must admit that I didn't take that as she hated her colour, more that she so loved the Motown sound and in some way identified with what could be described as black culture. Also, we know from her stand against aparteid in South Africa in the 60's how strongly she felt about the inequality that existed.
I'm not sure how such conclusions about both her colour and her voice can be made from what is generally known. I am not aware that she hated her voice, she certainly was insecure about it but that's not the same thing at all.
I'm not sure what sort of production it will be if such conclusions have been drawn - or maybe we as mere fans actually know very little.
