Cate Blanchett Dresses Up Cancer Vixen
Marisa
Acocella Marchetto's graphic memoir, Cancer Vixen: A True Story,
is one of the season's hottest books, and there's already a film version
in the mix.
Oscar winner Cate Blanchett will play Glamour and New
Yorker fashionista and cartoonist Marchetto, whose plans to
marry a celebrity restauranteur were wrenched when she was diagnosed with
breast cancer just three weeks before the wedding.
Her pals rallied around her and made sure she wore the most fabulous shoes
possible to her chemo treatments.
Given that Marchetto's support group was made up of designers, gossip
columnists, and stylists, look for Cancer Vixen to bring lots of
Devil Wears Prada-style gay atmosphere when the movie hits theaters
next year.
