Dolly Parton's life is to be made into a film.

The 64-year-old country singer revealed plans are in motion for a biopic feature, but she is unsure who will play her because their aren't many actresses as busty as her.

Dolly told British talk show host Alan Titchmarsh: "I'm working on my life story.

"I'm not decided if it's going to be a musical or a movie with music in it. I've not thought about who will play me – but we need someone little.

"And if they don't have enough up top we'll have to give them a big old boob job."

Dolly is no stranger to the big screen and has starred in several films, including Nine to Five, Steel Magnolias and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.

She also served as a writer on TV stories Wild Texas Wind and A Smoky Mountain Christmas.

Recently Dolly admitted her look was unique, but insists people shouldn't copy her pneumatic blonde style.

Dolly - who has had a number of cosmetic surgery procedures, including having her breasts enlarged to a 40DD cup - said: "It comes from a sincere place. And I ain't telling people to look like me. I don't say, 'Oh you need to have big boobs and overdo your make-up and have nine inch nails. A lot of men think I'm just too artificial, but there are some good ol' boys out there who don't."
