Well color me (or rather, her) unrecognizable. She’s recently gotten her teeth done, and while that would normally render her almost completely different, she also went and dyed her hair a dark shade of brunette in order to portray another famous brunette who she’ll playing in an upcoming Lifetime movie.

Know who it is yet?

Jump in to find out!

You’re right. It’s Jewel, playing the role of June Carter in the upcoming LIFETIME movie, ‘The June Carter Cash Story’, which is said to be wrapping sometime over the next few weeks. Boy. Those Lifetime network sets must just be hopping. Lindsay Lohan, Jewel Kilcher … it’s like 2002 all over again!

Seriously though, the movie’s based on book Anchored in Love: An Intimate Portrait of June Carter Cash, which is about … well, it’s about June Carter Cash and Johnny Cash, obviously. Here’s the official book description if you really want to get detailed:

June Carter was born in the rugged mountains of Maces Springs, Virginia, to Ezra and Maybelle Carter, pioneers of country music. On stage from a very young age, June found her niche in the spotlight with her vivacious personality and down-home sense of humor. Her confidence and spirit were what attracted Johnny Cash to her in the late 1950s. On the road together, they quickly bonded. June was his helpmate and closest companion. They were married for forty years, through addiction and success, tragedy and triumph.

Anchored in Love is an inside look into the life of June Carter Cash, through the eyes of her only child with Johnny Cash-John Carter Cash. With skillful prose, he reveals new information about the legendary woman through his tender memories and heartwarming stories.

So it sounds like it’ll be pretty OK, right? But Lifetime. I don’t know. Because it’s Lifetime. I expect that you’ll* be telling me that Lifetime is the new black or something, right? Because I’m just not buying it, I’m sorry.

*Of course by “you,” I mean “Lindsay Lohan.”
