Longtime Cosmo editor Helen Gurley Brown is getting her own biopic
According to Deadline, Fox is prepping a biopic about Helen Gurley Brown, the longtime editor who transformed Cosmopolitan from a struggling fiction magazine to the flashy dispensary of ridiculous sex tips we all know and occasionally flip through in the supermarket checkout line. Brown rose to fame as the author of Sex And The Single Girl, the 1962 guide to love for career-minded women “that torpedoed the myth that a girl must be married to enjoy a satisfying life,” as well as coining the term “mouseburger.”
