Casting News


Gwyneth Paltrow is to star in a movie about the Watergate scandal.

The film will be an adaptation of John Jeter's play Dirty Tricks. Jeter's play was a one-woman production, focusing on the late Martha Mitchell, who had the nickname "the mouth that roared" because of her whistleblowing. Meryl Streep and Annette Bening will also star in the film reports Variety.

Streep will play Martha Mitchell, the wife of then-US attorney John Mitchell, who was known for making revelatory phone calls to journalists. Among the journalists she briefed was Bob Woodward, who broke the news of the scandal that brought down President Richard Nixon in 1979. She also spoke to White House correspondent Helen Thomas, who will be played by Bening in the film.

Paltrow will portray Maureen Dean, the wife of White House counsel John Dean, who was dragged into the scandal of the break-in at the headquarters of the opposition Democratic Party.

You Said

I've always thought Gwyneth Paltrow was pretty. That might be the best photo I've ever seen of her.
