Donatella Versace is the latest fashion icon to become the subject of a biopic. The plot focuses on the traumatic time following her late brother's murder when Gianni Versace was gunned down at his mansion in South Beach Miami, Florida in 1997.

Gina Gershon stars as a grieving peroxide blonde younger sibling as she struggles to run the family business suddenly thrown into chaos. Enrico Colantoni is cast as Gianni and Raquel Welch makes a rare appearance as their Aunt Lucia.

Gershon is best known for her roles in the films Face/off, PS I Love You and TV shows Curb Your Enthusiasm, Rescue Me and Ugly Betty.
