Arguably if Lucy had held out (i.e., turned down WIldcat) and had been available when the casting for Dolly started, I think she would have been a front-runner: a very strong box office name with an obvious flair for comedy, and age-appropriate. Dolly isn't (or doesn't have to be) a strenuous role, and with better material she wouldn't have had to work so hard to get an audience response. For a film version, I would see no obstacles for Ball besides bankability for a $25 million road show film
