I had no idea she was doing this but I think it's very exciting! I'm sure she'll be amazing in this role.

I didn't even know this movie was happening.  This news makes my week!

I had heard about the project and then forgot all about it. But I squealed when I stumbled across that picture.

Did anyone see Judy Kaye in that show she did about Flo Fo-J a few years back? I thought she was wonderful.

Everytime Meryl takes a dump, someone says "She could win an Oscar for it", but this is the type of role that she actually could.

I'm excited for it also!

It's funny that she goes from Maria Callas to Florence Foster Jenkins!

Speaking of which, was "Master Class" just shelved, with the passing of Mike Nichols?

The hell? I had a video of Florence Foster Jenkins singing the Queen of the Night aria here and it changed to a video of Grand Theft Auto... weird

I saw Judy Kaye as Florence on Broadway.  The play and her were very very enjoyable.
