JA from MNPP here. Via The Hollywood Reporter this morning comes some interesting news on one of my very favorite actresses:"Joan Allen and Jeremy Irons are set to star in a Lifetime biopic about the late American artist Georgia O'Keeffe, with Bob Balaban on board to direct....
"Georgia O'Keeffe," from Sony Pictures TV, is something of a passion project for the three exec producers, who conceived and have been developing the movie as a team for four years; at one point, it was in development at HBO.
"Georgia" will follow the turbulent 20-year love affair between the celebrated artist (Allen) and photographer Alfred Steiglitz (Irons). The movie, set to premiere in third-quarter 2009, was written by Pulitzer Prize winner Michael Cristofer ("Gia"). Tony Mark ("And Starring Poncho Villa as Himself") is producing."
What's that? HUH? I can't hear you over sound of the sirens in my head set to detect whenever fatal levels of estrogen are present. Must be something about the co-mingling of Joan Allen, notorious flower-to-labia equater Georgia O'Keeffe, the Lifetime Network Television For Women and/or Homosexuals and/or Golden Girls aficionados, and the writer of the movie that introduced us to Angelina Jolie's 22-year old breasts having torrid lesbian sex... something about that brew seems to be signaling a raise in lady-fumes in the air... hmm...
But in all seriousness, can we cross Emmy off of Joan's checklist now? If only that Oscar weren't so damned elusive...
