The actress Frances McDormand loves books! According to the website Deadline, McDormand has optioned two books for both television and movie adaptations.
Appearing in a new role–producer–Frances McDormand has set at HBO a potential series adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Elizabeth Strout novel Olive Kitteridge. Separately, she has attached Diane Lane to star in a Nicole Holofcener-scripted feature adaptation of Laura Lippman’s crime novel Every Secret Thing. McDormand got both projects off the ground and while she will play the town’s seventh grade math teacher Olive Kitteridge if the pilot script Jane Anderson’s writing becomes an HBO series, McDormand doesn’t plan to appear on camera in Every Secret Thing.
