The Weinsteins might have found gold in Garland. Perhaps banking on the fact that a screenwriter will be able to do to Gerald Clarke’s “Get Happy: the Life of Judy Garland” for what was done to Clarke’s take on Capote, The Weinstein Co. have optioned the book which digs into the personal life of the starlet who died at the very young age of 47. I wouldn’t mind seeing an Amy Adams play the legendary actress – she could probably span three decades worth with her complexion and the three “D’s” of divorce, depression and drugs could land her one of them dramatic roles that the Academy loves.
