If they were ever to do a biopic on the late singer’s life, who would be the perfect candidate?

DEFINITELY NOT Lindsey Lohan or Lady Gaga. We need a LEGITIMATE actress to play this part.

I would go with, from whom you have listed, Helena Bonham Carter. I have a feeling she would do wonders with that role.

Some black die, a black eye pencil, and I think Jessica Chastain could do her justice.

Out of that bunch above, I’d go with HBC.

Chastain and HBC would both be great, but unfortunately I think both would be too old for the role. Anne Hathaway would be good for an actual biopic of Winehouse, but if they were to make a film about a singer whose story closely follows Amy’s, yet is older, HBC and/or Chastain would be marvelous choices.

HBC and Winehouse stunningly look like each other. Though isn’t Helena like 50?

I agree with Anne Hathaway or Jessica Chastain, but mostly the first. They’re both wonderful actresses and could do wonders with this role. 

Helena Bonham Carter is a extraordinary actress. I really, really love her. But isn’t she too old to play Winehouse? Should I remind you that Winehouse was 27 at the time of her death? Carter is, at least, 20 years older…

I say if they make a movie they should go with an “unknown” actress. but they should hold off on the movie for at least 5 years cause she literally just died like 1-2 years ago.

Well, it’s true that some potential actors are older than Amy, but afterall, they’re actors. Carey Mulligan played sixteen did she not?

They shouldn’t wait that long. I wouldn’t say Amy is the most famous artist out there, since she only released two albums that didn’t really generate huge hits. She may be forgotten by the general public from years to come.
