thesun.co.ukINDUSTRY star Marisa Abela will play Amy Winehouse in the late singer’s long-awaited biopic Back To Black. The actress, 26, confirmed the news yesterday with a close up snap of the bottom half of her face in full character.
Marisa’s look included Amy’s infamous diamante piercing and golden hoop earrings. She also wore a golden necklace with the words: “Amy Jade” - Winehouse’s middle name.
Marisa simply captioned the shot: “And for London. This is for London. Cause Camden Town Ain’t burnin’ down.” The quote was a reference from Amy’s 2008 Grammy Awards acceptance speech after winning Record of the Year thanks to her hit Rehab.
