Meryl Streep to Play Joni Mitchell in Cameron Crowe’s Upcoming Biopic

Meryl Streep will portray Joni Mitchell in Cameron Crowe's biopic, with casting confirmed by Clive Davis at a pre-Grammy party, while a younger Mitchell's role remains unconfirmed.

  • Davis reported at his pre‑Grammy party on Saturday that Meryl Streep, three-time Oscar winner, will play Joni Mitchell in a Cameron Crowe biopic.
  • Built over several years, the project has been in development for a long time, with Crowe saying in 2023 it was in motion and hoped for a 2025 release.
  • Streep's recent Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon cover of `California` last year was denied as a casting hint, while reports link Anya Taylor‑Joy and Amanda Seyfried to younger versions with no confirmed casting.
  • Davis revealed at last weekend's pre-Grammy party that Streep will portray Mitchell in a biopic, which she previously described as `It's Joni's life`.
  • Mitchell previously blocked a 2014 Taylor Swift-led biopic, and Davis's 2021 virtual pre‑Grammy gala interview plus her 2022 Newport set show renewed public engagement.
