Rebecca Ferguson nabs role in Stephen Frears' 'Florence Foster Jenkins'
Rebecca Ferguson will be joining the cast of Stephen Frears' upcoming film 'Florence Foster Jenkins,' along with Meryl Streep, Hugh Grant and 'The Big Bang Theory's' Simon Helberg.
The Pathe-financed movie follows the true story of the titular character (Streep), a wealthy woman in the early 20th century NYC high society who used her relationships and her fortune to gain traction as a singer, but with one catch: she couldn't actually sing, Deadline.com reported.
Grant plays her butler and best friend, while Ferguson will play Grant's long-suffering wife. While, Helberg boarded the role of Cosme McMoon, Florence's accompanist on the piano.
