The lovely lady with the sultry voice and the blowtorch blonde hair, who is currently singing up a storm with Alan King at Caesar\u2019s Palace in Las Vegas, reports that she has acquired film rights to Clair de Lune, Pierre La Mure\u2019s 1962 novel about Claude Debussy. She hopes to start filming in France next spring under the label of her own company, PLP Productions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What\u2019s a nice girl like Peggy doing in the producing game? &#8220;It\u2019s one big, beautiful accident,&#8221; she says. &#8220;I had Clair de Lune on my bookshelf for a long time, but I didn\u2019t read it until a house guest recommended it to me. The story fascinated me: it was so romantic \u2013 so sensual, without being pornographic. Then I found out that La Mure lived only a few blocks from me in Los Angeles, so we got together and made the deal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Does the deal include the services of actress Peggy Lee, who was nominated for an Oscar for her performance in Pete Kelly\u2019s Blues back in 1955? &#8220;Well, I think I\u2019d be right for the role of an older woman whom the hero falls in love,&#8221; she says modestly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We think she\u2019d be right for the younger woman.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by A.
