Emmy-winning Jean Smart, fresh off of HBO's Watchmen, is set to star in Miss Macy, a feature from director Tate Taylor and Amblin Partners.
The movie is based on the true story of Trisha Mitchell Coburn, a small town girl from Alabama who attended the Miss Macy charm school before being launched as a successful model.
