So it's no surprise that former Houston author Suzanne Finstad's Child Bride has been snapped up for a movie. The book already is the target of lawsuits and attempts by Presley to block its publication. 3rd Coast is Houston-based, with offices in L.A., as well.
Meetings are under way concerning casting and production details.
Finstad, who was in Houston earlier this week, is back home in L.A. and delighted over the sale to 3rd Coast, as are her parents, Houston's Harold and Elaine Finstad . Judge Eric Andell is all smiles because his daughter, Bethany Andell , is climbing steadily up the show-biz success ladder. She recently wrapped a Steven Spielberg film, Amistad , for which she was assistant art department coordinator. Speaking of proud parents, Our Town's Sylvia Mintzer and her husband, Marty, are back from N.Y. and the opening of 1776 at the Roundabout Theater on Broadway. His reviews have been raves for all of it.
