One of our favorite British funny‑and‑dramatic gals, Jessica Gunning, might be known to the masses for her Netflix sensation “Baby Reindeer.” But we’ve adored her long before the global frenzy — all the way back to her scene‑stealing brilliance in the UK comedy‑crime thriller “The Outlaws” as the lovable Diane Pemberley.
Now the Emmy and BAFTA‑winning starlet is stepping into a whole new spotlight: She is set to play legendary singer Cass Elliot in a biopic from filmmaker Peter Jaysen.
And honestly? We can see it. The resemblance. The warmth. The presence. It’s all there — a match made in cinematic heaven.
Fresh music, bold entertainment, and men’s fashion—one tight email a week.
The film will be based on the memoir “My Mama Cass,” written by Elliot’s daughter Owen Elliot‑Kugell, offering a deeply personal lens into the life of one of music’s most beloved voices.
