BEIJING, China (M&C) -- Jennifer Aniston and her producing partner, Kristin Hahn have hired Margaret Nagle (HBO's "Warm Springs") to adapt the screenplay of ‘Goree Girls.’
Aniston will executive produce and may star in the period musical, originally a 2003 Texas Monthly feature by Skip Hollandsworth titled, ‘O Sister, Where Art Thou?’
Goree Girls’ is based on the true story of eight women at Texas' Goree Prison during the 1940s who formed one of the first all-female country and western acts in the country and captured the hearts of millions of fans in the process.
At their peak, the Goree Girls, as they were popularly known, drew a weekly audience of 7 million listeners to their live radio show broadcast every Wednesday evening on a Fort Worth station. The women were flooded with fan mail, flowers, candy and even marriage proposals from male admirers from around the world.
Eventually, however, all of the group's members were pardoned, and the Goree Girls quickly faded into obscurity.
No director or cast have yet been attached.
