After having a great run in film through 2008, Kate Winslet is turning her eyes to television. The actress has agreed to star in Mildred Pierce, a miniseries adaptation based on James M. Cain's novel.
Kate Winslet for Mildred Pierce
Directed by Todd Haynes off a script (or two) he wrote, Mildred Pierce will place Winslet in the title role, which follows a bored housewife who gets into the restaurant business, an enterprise that leads to back-stabbing, romance and murder.
Though the miniseries does not have a network just yet, HBO is the obvious lead contender.
