In addition to the biopic,  Lifetime has also announced a documentary on Williams’ life, which will be produced by Entertainment (eOne) and Creature Films.

It’ll be interesting to see just how real Wendy gets about her highs and lows. We’re also looking forward to seeing this casting. Who should play Wendy?
