With 17 books to her credit, Sue Grafton's heroine private detective Kinsey
Millhone is long over due for the big screen, if not a made for TV movie.
But which actress is best suited to play her ?
The problem as I see it, is that Hollywood is spoiled for choice.
Here is my short list of possible candidates in no kind of order what so
ever.
Marg Helgenberger
Susan Saradon
Melanie Griffith
Danna Delaney
Holly Hunter
Greena Davis
Katie Sagal
Bret Butler
Helen Hunt
Brigit Fonda
Shelley Long
Leslie Ann Warren
Meg Ryan
Julianne Moore
Cybil Shepard
Molly Ringwold
Goldie Hawn
Peri Gilpin
Demi Moore
Sara Jessica Parker
Alison Jenney

Yes, her family has instructions never to allow her books to be turned into any other form of media. But it is interesting to speculate, isn't it? But just about all of the women on your list are way to old. Kinsey is supposed to be her her early to mid-thirties, probably late thirties during the last book. Some of these actresses are actually in their seventies.
