ABC is ready to hit the runway — or at least focus on the drama behind it.
The Disney-owned network has picked up drama Model Woman to pilot, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Inspired by Robert Lacey's 2015 book Model Woman: Eileen Ford and the Business of Beauty, the fictionalized drama is set in the late 1970s during the notorious Model Wars. The potential series centers on Bertie Geiss — a tempestuous matriarch and uncompromising businesswoman at the helm of an internationally renowned modeling agency. Helen Childress (Reality Bites) will pen the script and exec produce the drama alongside Anonymous Content's Rosalie Swedlin and The Royals' Scarlett Lacey.
