Over the years, Jewel has turned from poet to singer. Now, she can add actress to her list of credentials. Jewel will star in the Lifetime original movie, "The June Carter Cash Story." Surprisingly, her life story is similar to the country legend's.

Jewel traded in her golden tresses and donned contacts to attain a look that is staggeringly similar to June Carter Cash.

According to Huffington Post, Jewel not only changed her eye and hair color but may have had her signature teeth fixed. Hopefully, she's only using some sort of dental prosthetic - like the reverse of Bubba Gum.

"The June Carter Cash Story" was announced in May, so we can only wait to find out when it will premiere on Lifetime Television.

I think Jewel will do a great job, but I know I won't be the only one that compares her performance to Reese Witherspoon's portrayal of Johnny Cash's wife in the 2005 biopic "Walk the Line."

Witherspoon won an Academy Award for the role. Could Jewel take home an Emmy?
