David O. Russell now sees Jennifer Lawrence as a single mother of three
Aiming to test whether people will literally watch Jennifer Lawrence watch floors dry, David O. Russell is in early talks to cast his favorite actress as Joy Mangano, inventor of the self-wringing Miracle Mop, in a movie about her life. Mangano was a struggling single mother of three in her mid-30s when she first fashioned her breakout product, making her an ideal role for the 23-year-old Lawrence to play, for the director who’s previously seen her as both jaded widow and neglected housewife. (Age logistics aside, at least that mop would come in handy around all the Doritos dust.)
