I didn't put her name in the title because it's quite likely that the character in the movie will have a different name. A memoir doesn't generally have what you'd call a plot structure, and films tend to need one. Even if it's just the barest hint of one. This generally requires that certain specifics of the tale be altered or re-purposed. Events that in reality occurred years apart might happen within days of each other for instance. Two or three different characters might get merged into one. Same too, with locations. As a result, it can often be the case that the filmmakers decide that what they're making is a fictional dramatization of real events, and so bestow fictional names on the characters to make that explicit. This is what's happened with American Hustle for instance. On the other hand, they might decide to stick with everyone's real name, I don't know... __________________

Well, Jeannette has a younger brother and sister, but she's really the middle child, with her sister Lori being the eldest.

Well, yeah there's no director attached yet, so it might never come about...
... but I thought, let's be optimistic. __________________

It's an interesting exchange, because the memoir certainly paints a picture of a girl/woman with some dirt on her. Later in life though, as she tries to free herself from her - let's just call it unorthodox - childhood, she does get quite hung up on cleanliness. Which is certainly understandable...
It's interesting also that the article only talks about Jennifer producing. I assume she still plans to star, but the article's failure to spell that out got me wondering... I'm wondering too, if Buffy alum, Marti Noxon is still on tap for the scripting duties on this one. It would certainly seem to be right inside her wheelhouse. Still no director. Actually, this could be the perfect film for Jen to reunite with Debra Granik. That would be cool. __________________
