Look Out!: Shirley MacLaine as Coco Chanel

Academy Award® winner Shirley MacLaine stars in leading role of Coco Chanel biopic, which will premiere on Lifetime in September. This is a nothing to something story of Chanel who was named one of Time Magazine's Most Influential People of the 20th Century. Barbora Bobulova also stars as Coco in her earlier years. MacLaine confesses that it was icon Audrey Hepburn who suggested she play Coco Chanel.

"She told me I should play Coco Chanel. I said, ‘She was a little scrunched over and very short.’ "And she said, ‘But the spirit of the woman is what matches your spirit’."She was obviously right."

Intresting....

Well, I'm intrigued in seeing how the couturier's life is played out on screen. I'll definately be watching! "Coco Chanel" premieres Saturday, September 13 at 8:00pm ET/PT on Lifetime Television.

Tune in!
