Donald Trump: The Biopic

Posted on February 10, 2005

According to The Hollywood Reporter, ABC has given the green light to a 2-hour biopic of billionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump. The biopic will not be authorized by The Donald, but will be based on the unauthorized biography entitled The Trumps: Three Generations That Built an Empire by Gwenda Blair (Simon and Schuster).

No casting news has been released, but Trump told Access Hollywood last night "I don't care [who plays me] as long as he's extra good-looking. I don't care if he can act or not. I would like to bring back Cary Grant from the dead."

Oh, and he also said that if they portray him in a bad light or if there are any inaccuracies in the portrayal, he's going to sue ABC. "But as long as it's accurate, I won't be suing them," Trump added magnanimously.
