The name of country music star Keith Whitley, who died of alcohol abuse in May at 33, could also join the development list. Whitley’s former manager, Jack McFadden, tells us that he and the late singer’s family are in discussions with two production companies interested in such a project.

“It’s a story that could be a help to a lot of people, but only if it’s told honestly,” McFadden said. “The family wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Whitley won a posthumous best-single award from the Country Music Assn. last Monday for his hit, “I’m No Stranger to the Rain.”
