Jennifer Lawrence has reportedly signed on to a role that is already making future Oscar prognosticators’ Best Actress lists. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actress will play Zelda Fitzgerald in a biopic about the writer that may be directed by Ron Howard. Howard is involved in the development process, but apparently has not yet signed on to helm. THR reports that the film is based on Nancy Milford’s biography, and the screenplay by Emma Frost will examine the relationship between Fitzgerald and her famous husband, F. Scott. It seeks to tackle the question: “Can love exist between creative equals?” The two were married when Zelda was just 19, so presumably at some point Lawrence might be playing a character (close to) her own age.
Lawrence will be far from the first woman to take on the role. Natasha Richardson played Zelda in a 1993 TV movie. More recently ...

Natasha Richardson, who more than upheld her lineage as part of one of the great acting dynasties by establishing an eclectic career in film, TV and theater, where she earned a Tony in 1998 for her performance as Sally Bowles in "Cabaret," died Wednesday in New York. She was 45.
Richardson suffered a head injury while taking a skiing lesson Monday at the Mont Tremblant resort north of Montreal. Although she initially showed no visible signs of injury, she developed a headache about an hour later and was taken first to a local hospital in Ste. Agathe, Quebec, and then was transferred to the Hopital du Sacre-Coeur de Montreal.
On Tuesday, she was transported to Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, where her family, including husband Liam Neeson and her mother, Vanessa Redgrave, gathered to keep vigil.
