From an ’80s screen legend to a ’90s It-girl, these are the revered actors who’ve so far joined the ensemble, and the glamorous figures they’re set to play.
The Hollywood stalwart has a pivotal role in the series: that of showgirl Ann Woodward, who grew into a controversial figure after her marriage to banking heir William Woodward Jr. Many objected to the union, the couple had several affairs, and William asked Ann for a divorce in 1947. She refused, but in 1955, she shot and killed him in their own home, claiming to have mistaken him for a burglar. A grand jury deemed the death accidental, but Woodward was banished from high society as a result.
Her story had largely been forgotten by the time “La Côte Basque, 1965” was published, but it nodded to it with a character also named Ann – a woman of modest means who marries well but, fearing her powerful husband is about to divorce her, shoots him in the middle of the night. Her mother-in-law, eager to avoid a scandal, pays off the police and ensures no charges are brought against her. Days before the release of Capote’s chapter she killed herself by swallowing cyanide.
