Lady Gaga is set to star in a movie about the Gucci family
After The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story, Hollywood is turning its lens on another fashion dynasty. This time, it’s the Gucci family, and they’re at the centre of an upcoming film starring Lady Gaga. The Oscar-winning actress is set to portray Patrizia Reggiani, the ex-wife of Guccio Gucci’s grandson Maurizio. The two split up in 1985 after 12 years of marriage when Maurizio left his wife for a younger woman. 10 years later, he was gunned down and Reggiani was convicted of orchestrating the assassination. According to Variety, “she gained the nickname the Black Widow during the trial and served 18 years before being released from prison in 2016.” The upcoming film will be directed by Ridley Scott and is based on the book The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed.
