The First Lady of Hairdressing is getting a biopic. Atmosphere Entertainment has acquired the rights to “Upper Cut: Highlights of My Hollywood Life,” Carrie White’s bestselling memoir about working as a hairdresser in ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s Hollywood, and is developing it into a pic. Deadline confirmed the news.

Described as an “unflinching portrayal of addiction and recovery,” “Uppercut” revisits White’s time behind the scenes of photo shoots and TV appearances, her time spent “collaborating with Richard Avedon on shoots for Vogue, partying with Jim Morrison, giving Nurse Ratchett her signature style, getting high with Jimi Hendrix, and touching the heads of Marlon Brando, Elizabeth Taylor, Elvis Presley, Warren Beatty, Julie Christie, and Goldie Hawn, to name only a few. But behind the glamorous façade, Carrie’s world was in perpetual disarray. She fueled the frenetic pace of her professional life with a steady diet of champagne and vodka, pills, cocaine, and heroin until she lost everything,” the source teases.

“Uncut Gems” actress Julia Fox is set to star. “Mom” scribe Susan McMartin is penning the script.

“I’m truly honored to adapt Carrie’s incredible story of sex, drugs, rock n roll, and HAIR for the screen,” commented McMartin. “Having grown up in Los Angeles myself, as well as having faced my own demons with addiction, Carrie’s book resonated with me on a very personal level. Her writing is honest, raw, hilarious, heartbreaking, and takes you on a journey that at times feels unbelievable — but it’s all true! I’m equally thrilled that the beautiful, smart, talented, badass Julia Fox will be playing the role of Carrie. Julia and I have worked together on a couple of projects, and she is a force to be reckoned with.”

Fox added, “Carrie’s life story is made for the big screen, and I hope it will inspire women to change their lives, reinvent themselves no matter what age they are, and to follow their dreams no matter how wild and outlandish they might seem!”
