Kate Hudson to play Margaret Keane in ‘Big Eyes’
Posted on February 6th, 2008 by Hot Momma
Kate Hudson is set to star in in the movie Big Eyes, a biopic of 1960s artist Margaret Keane.
Keane was famous for her paintings of children with large eyes, which were sold under the name of then-husband Walter. During their divorce proceedings, she was forced to paint in front of a judge to prove that the works were hers and gain the right to use her own name.
According to Variety, the independently-financed movie will focus on her “personal awakening” as a result of the feminist movement and the subsequent lawsuit over her artwork.
The movie will be the directorial debut of Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski – who also wrote the script. The film is set to start production in June, but it could depend on a resolution of a new SAG contract. It sounds like a very compelling story with a female role that could be a award winning for Kate.
