Hollywood movie darling Meg
Ryan has been attached by HBO to star in its new miniseries, "The Best Awful."
The project, an adaptation of the Carrie Fisher's best-selling novel
"Postcards From the Edge," will have the likes of Bruce Cohen, Dan Jinks and
Richard LaGravenese, all to give hand at producing along with Ryan and Fisher.
As for the book, it tells the story of a bipolar, ex-actress, celebrity talk
show host with a 6-year-old daughter, a gay ex-husband, an aging movie star
mother and an unshakable will to survive. Her post-divorce trauma leads her back
to the use of prescription drugs, a wild trip to Mexico with her tattoo artist
and, ultimately, a rehab clinic.
Stay tuned for more details on the forthcoming project.
