House of Versace

In a first look image from Lifetime's upcoming House of Versace original movie, the Killer Joe (and Bound) actress transforms into Donatella Versace.

The telepic is based on Wall Street Journal reporter Deborah Ball's book House of Versace: The Untold Story of Genius, Murder, and Survival and centers on Donatella (Gershon), who after her brother's slaying is thrust into the spotlight as head designer of his fashion empire.

At first ridiculed by critics worldwide, Donatella falls victim to drug addiction and nearly bankrupts the company. With the help of her family, including daughter Allegra, Aunt Lucia (Raquel Welch) and brother Santo (Colm Feore), she enters rehab to confront her demons and soon comes back stronger than ever to reignite the beloved Versace brand with her own vision and builds one of the most powerful and influential fashion houses ever known.(Hollywood Reporter)
