Demi Moore To Play Gloria Steinem Role In Lovelace

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Demi Moore will be playing a porn-hating Gloria Steinem in Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman’s new film “Lovelace”.  The film is a biopic of porn star Linda Lovelace, a woman who rose to fame in the porn industry in her early life, but spent her latter years fighting against it.

Moore’s role, which is being described as a “cameo” depicts Steinem’s life as an anti-porn activist who spent a large portion of her career rallying people against the porn industry.

The film currently stars Amanda Seyfried in the title role with support from Peter Sarsgaard, Sharon Stone, Juno Temple, Wes Bentley, Hank Azaria, Bobby Cannavale, Chris Noth, Robert Patrick and Romeo Brown.  James Franco’s  name has also resurfaced in recent weeks to play Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner.

“Lovelace” is presently in production in Los Angeles. Hopefully the Gloria Steinem role will give Demi Moore a different kind of publicity than she’s been getting lately, since reports of her marriage troubles hit the net in full force.

 

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
