Oprah's Unauthorized Biography Coming to the Big Screen?


Could be. Kitty Kelly just sold the rights to a big time producer.

The trick is: Will the producer be able to sell it?

When Kitty Kelly was trying to promote her unauthorized biography of Oprah Winfrey she was shut out by nearly every network because nobody wanted to risk getting on Oprah's shit list [click here if you missed that]. 
Now that he owns the rights, Larry A. Thompson, who did biopics on Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz and Sonny and Cher, has been seeking a screenwriter and trying to pitch the biopic to movie studios and TV networks.

Well good luck with that Larry, and may I suggest Kenan Thompson for the title role?
