One of the hardest books we’ve ever read is I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy. The book was heart wrenching and reading what happened to Jennette was hard. You think that celebrities have it easy, but then you read a book like this, and you know that nothing is that easy.
Life doesn’t get easier just because people know your name.
Apple TV+ has given a 10-episode order to the adaptation of McCurdy’s book. What we were surprised over is that Jennifer Aniston will be playing McCurdy’s Mom.
The official logline says, ““heartbreaking and hilarious recounting of Jennette McCurdy’s struggles as a former child actor while dealing with her overbearing, domineering mother (Aniston). The dramedy will center on the the codependent relationship between an 18-year-old actress in a hit kid’s show, and her narcissistic mother who relishes in her identity as ‘a starlet’s mother.'”
I’m Glad My Mom Died published in 2022 with Simon & Schuster, and remained on top of the New York Times best sellers list for over a year. McCurdy and Ari Katcher will write the scripts, show run, and executive produce. Aniston will also produce for Echo Films.
