"Newcomer Ashley Charles has been cast as Keith Richards in the new Jimi Hendrix biopic All Is By My Side. The unknown British actor will star as the Rolling Stones guitarist alongside rapper Andre 3000, who plays the legendary rock star, and Hayley Atwell (Captain America) as Richards&amp;#039;s girlfriend Linda Keith, says The Hollywood Reporter.  Richards played a major role in the story of Hendrix&amp;#039;s rise to fame. Linda Keith was reported to have discovered Hendrix performing in a nightclub before bringing him to the attention of Richards. Keith has also claimed to have given Hendrix both Richards&amp;#039;s Fender Stratocaster and his demo of Tim Rose singing &amp;#039;Hey Joe&amp;#039;, his first big hit. Richards wrote in his autobiography Life that Keith then &amp;quot;went to New York and took up further with Jimi Hendrix, who may have broken her heart, as she broke mine&amp;quot;. All Is By My Side is currently filming in Ireland, but it has been reported that the Hendrix estate has yet to give the movie its approval, meaning that the filmmakers could potentially be blocked from access to the singer&amp;#039;s music and copyrights.
