Whoopi Goldberg: Movies
built 277 days ago
"Murphy Brown" creator Diane English is writing The F Word for HBO, a 10-hour mini-series she's exec-producing with Linda Ellerbee, Whoopi Goldberg and Diane Keaton. It will, she notes, have the importance for women that HBO's From the Earth to the Moon had for men. HBO, she says, is "wonderful to work with, smart, and not very meddlesome -- it's time the ladies had a prestige project there." The F Word will cover the period from 1963-73, "The wild, outrageous golden age of the women's movement -- with stories that haven't been heard." She says the project is moving along "at a nice pace" and stresses it will ... be star-studded.
