What’s missing from Janis’ image? “Her intellect,” said Laura in 1991, working on a biopic that’s still not done. ” Joplin’s sister Laura Joplin has said she wants to downplay sex and drugs in the singer’s life story and to play up her sibling’s little-known side: wit, domestic yearnings and math-nerd membership in her Texas high school’s Slide Rule Club. “Several musicians approached us, but they’re all too old,” says Hendrix.

Says Carlin, “Just imagine the pressure to whitewash or to build the story around some important-only-to-the-subject-and/or-his-loved-ones angle.” One filmmaker who tried to make a Hendrix biopic with the singer’s sister Janie Hendrix, president and CEO of Experience Hendrix Llc., says she ordered him to sign an affidavit that Jimi never used drugs.

In CBGB, Malin Akerman as Blondie’s Deborah Harry duets with Taylor Hawkins as Iggy Pop, blending their voices with historic 1970s recordings from the punk-epicenter club.
