wow they're making a Margaux Hemingway movie


Many of you probably remember the beautiful model/actress Margaux Hemingway, granddaughter of Ernest Hemingway and sister of Mariel Hemingway. Mariel also became an actress and, later, a successful businesswoman. (Margaux and Mariel co-starred in one of the worst, most exploitative movies ever, "Lipstick," with its infamous rape scene.)

Margaux’s life was fraught with excess – sex, drugs, rock ‘n’ roll – and capped with emotional problems and severe depression. Eventually, too much Studio 54 and other citadels of decadence caught up with Margaux. There was a tense relationship with her mother. And accusations that she had been molested by her godfather; a charge that caused her to be on the outs with her family for several years. She struggled to maintain a career, but her time had come and gone.

If you think this cautionary tale of beauty and fame gone awry would make an interesting movie, you are not alone. Richard Dupont, one of the few survivors of the Andy Warhol era, is putting together a film about Margaux. He has chosen Australian actress Melissa George to play Miss Hemingway. She is said to bear more than a passing resemblance to the young Margaux. Giselle Roman is writing the screenplay.

Richard knows his way around movies dealing with such subject matter. He and his twin, Robert, produced "Factory Girl," which allowed Sienna Miller the opportunity to give her considerable all as Edie Sedgwick. (Sienna’s performance deserved more attention than it received.)

I know everyone (or the 3 people that care) are going to hate this but idc, Melissa George does look a bit like her. I love melissa, I don't know why so many people hate her so much.
