There certainly hasn't been a shortage of actresses portraying Jackie Kennedy.

The Butler is based on a Washington Post article by Wil Haygood and tells the story of Eugene Allen, the late White House butler who served eight presidents during his tenure from 1952-1986.

One Three Media, reality heavyweight Mark Burnett’s joint venture with Hearst, is expanding into scripted television. It has hired HBO veteran Anne Thomopoulos to start a new scripted division for drama series and miniseries and run it. Thomopoulos has executive produced such series/miniseries as Rome, Camelot and Generation Kill as well as Tom Fontana’s European-financed and produced Borgia, on whose second season season she is working at the moment. “Our scripted division will be producing domestically and internationally, using both traditional models and new business models,” Thomopoulos said. Burnett’s first scripted project through his new company, a 10-hour miniseries for History based on the Bible that he’s executive producing alongside his wife Touched By An Angel star Roma Downey, is currently in production for a spring 2013 premiere.

DVD Playhouse—March 2012
By Allen Gardner
J. Edgar (Warner Bros.) Director Clint Eastwood provides a rock-solid, albeit rather flat portrait of polarizing FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, covering his life from late teens to his death. Leonardo DiCaprio does an impressive turn as Hoover, never crossing the line into caricature, and creating a Hoover that is all too human, making for an all the more unsettling look at absolute power run amuck. Where the film stumbles is the love story at its core: Hoover’s relationship with longtime aide Clyde Tolson (Armie Hammer).

The film works well when recreating the famous crimes and investigations which Hoover made his name on (the Lindbergh kidnapping, »

9 February 2012 9:02 AM, PST | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Roma Downey is still being touched by angels.
Nine years after the end of her popular CBS series about Monica, the heavenly emissary who learned the ropes on Earth, the former "Touched by an Angel" star continues to seek inspirational projects. She's now generating some herself as founder of Lightworkers Media, which debuts the child-oriented, animated DVD series "Little Angels" Tuesday (Feb. 14) via Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.
The franchise launches with three separate releases on the subjects of animals, letters and numbers. Featured on-camera in a parents' guide as part of the extra features, Downey tells Zap2it, "I've not ever produced an animated series before, so I just moved forward prayerfully to bring the best people to me.
