Hollywood’s still reeling from Joan Rivers’ death – but quietly wheeling and dealing!
“Every major studio’s vying to nail down rights to Joan’s life story,” said My Mogul Spy.
“From her struggle to hit the top of the male-dominated comedy world, to her relationship with Johnny Carson that ended in a blacklisting, her husband’s suicide … then her climb back to the top … Joan’s life makes a smash-hit movie!
"But studios are trying hard to be respectful to Joan’s daughter, Melissa – letting some time pass before making heavy-handed pitches.
"Names already mentioned to play the comedy queen include Jessica Chastain, Sarah Silverman and ‘Girls’ star Zosia Mamet.
"Playing Joan could prove Oscar-worthy, so actresses are chomping at the bit – Joan would have loved it!”
