After a bit of confusion, we learned last week that Sarah Jessica Parker was cast in the cameo role of Gloria Steinem in the upcoming biopic Lovelace currently in filming production here in SoCal. As you may recall, actress Demi Moore was originally cast to play Steinem but she had to pull out of the production because of her current stint in rehab. Today we get our first look at SJP on the set of Lovelace in character as Gloria Steinem. Click below to see her in action.
Demi Moore only pulled out the film last week after she was rushed to hospital after binging on nitrous oxide. But Sarah Jessica Parker has already jumped to the rescue and appeared on the set of Lovelace earlier today. The actress, 46, appeared almost unrecognisable in the brassy blonde wig as she takes on the role of feminist icon Gloria Steinem. As well as the bright blonde wig, Sarah also appeared to be sporting dark contacts as she shot scenes in LA. Steinem famously went undercover as a Playboy Bunny at the New York Playboy Club while on an assignment for a magazine. The article featured a photo of Steinem in Bunny uniform and detailed how women were treated at those clubs. Steinem’s expose was later made into the 1985 movie A Bunny’s Tale.
As you can see, SJP is not wearing Steinem‘s trademark glasses but … I suspect she’ll be wearing them in the film. It’s unknown if the Gloria Steinem in Lovelace will infiltrate the Playboy Club and become a Playboy Bunny but I think it’d be neat to see SJP in the bunny suit. It looks like they are working really hard on bringing Linda Lovelace‘s tragic life story to life … I’m really looking forward to the eventual release of this film.
