Lorraine Bracco's Dream Role

Story From July 2005

Academy Award Nominee Lorraine Bracco landed her best role in years earlier this week. Lorraine will play screen legend Liz Taylor in the new feature film “Bad: Jacko starts to go Wacko”. The film will chronicle Michael Jackson’s life from 1986 to 1990, the years leading up an immediately following the release of his popular “Bad” album.

Shortly after the announcement of the film Bracco sat down for an interview with Fake Gossip News at the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel. When asked about the project Lorraine said, “I am very excited about this project. The last time I was this excited about a movie was when I was cast to play Drew Barrymore’s mother in ‘Riding in Cars with Boys’. Elizabeth Taylor is one of the greatest screen icons ever and it will be my honor to play her.

There is no word yet on who will play Wacko Jacko but that hasn’t dulled Lorraine’s excitement. “We’ll find the right actor. The role has Oscar written all over it.” When asked about specifics about the film Bracco was mum except to say “There is a dream sequence in which Jacko and Liz do a duet/dance number to ‘Man in the Mirror’. I’m really looking forward to that.” When asked where she was going to do her research Lorraine Bracco said “Duh. Liz Taylor’s house.”
