Streep set to get "Dirty"
08/07/05Paramount Pictures has set "Nip/Tuck" creator and exec producer Ryan Murphy to write and direct an adaptation of John Jeter's play "Dirty Tricks," with Meryl Streep starring as Martha Mitchell, the whistle-blowing wife of Nixon chief of staff John Mitchell. Murphy has put together a strong cast. Annette Bening will play White House correspondent Helen Thomas, the recipient of many of Mitchell's leaks. Gwyneth Paltrow will play Maureen Dean, the wife of John Dean who, unlike Mitchell, stood squarely behind her man as the administration went down in scandal. And Jill Clayburgh will play Pat Nixon, who grew to loathe Mitchell for destabilizing the presidency.
