FIRST LOOK: 'House Of Versace' | Gina Gershon As Donatella !
In a first look image from Lifetime's upcoming House of Versace original movie, the actress (showgirls) transforms into Donatella Versace.
The telepic is based on Wall Street Journal reporter Deborah Ball's book House of Versace: The Untold Story of Genius, Murder, and Survival and centers on Donatella (Gershon), who after her brother's slaying is thrust into the spotlight as head designer of his fashion empire. At first ridiculed by critics worldwide, Donatella falls victim to drug addiction and nearly bankrupts the company. With the help of her family, including daughter Allegra, Aunt Lucia (Raquel Welch) and brother Santo (Colm Feore), she enters rehab to confront her demons and soon comes back stronger than ever to reignite the beloved Versace brand with her own vision and builds one of the most powerful and influential fashion houses ever known.
The movie will premiere Saturday, Oct. 5 at 8 p.m. and be followed at 10 p.m. by the documentary Versace: Beyond the Headlines.
Are they going to include a reference to the good sis that is Gaga?
She did help Versace go big with our current generation
Why would they do that? This isn't the first time popular acts have worn Versace and it won't be the last. Biggie & Tupac arguably made popular to wear Versace shades in the 90s will they be featured as well?
