KIRSTEN Angelina Jolie backs biopic on DUNST athlete Jim Thorpe BECOMES A MOTHER

Actor Kirsten Dunst has welcomed her first child with fiance, actor Jesse Plemons. The couple became proud parents of “a healthy baby boy” over the weekend, reports People magazine.

Dunst and Plemons began dating in 2016 after meeting on the set of popular TV series, Fargo, where they played a married couple.

Following news of her engagement to Plemons in January 2017, Dunst revealed she was expecting, cradling her growing baby bump in Rodarte’s Fall/Winter portrait series.

Hollywood actorfilmmaker Angelina Jolie is co-producing a biopic on American athlete Jim Thorpe, reports variety.com.

Regarded as one of the greatest athletes in the history of modern sports, Thorpe was also a member of the Sac and Fox Nation. In 1912, he won two Olympic gold medals representing the US while his citizenship went unrecognised during a period of cultural genocide for Native Americans. He went on to play Major League Baseball, professional football and eventually founded the organisation that became the NFL.

The film is titled, Bright Path: The Jim Thorpe Story. “I’m honoured to be working on this project,” Jolie said. “I have had the privilege of spending time with Bill Thorpe, and will be listening to and guided by the Tribes and the Thorpe family in the making of this film,” she added.
