Later this year, Jessica Biel will make a little personal history with the indie flick Powder Blue. Last summer it was being reported that Biel would play a stripper supporting her son as a single mother in the gritty drama, and that to achieve full effect, she'd strip on-screen, as well.
Naturally, that got one or two people excited for some reason. Biel, it is rumored, is taking the challenging role to push her boundaries as an actress, and in hopes of being taken more seriously.
Powder Blue then gained a bit of unwanted publicity when another its stars, Patrick Swayze, revealed he had pancreatic cancer. Earlier this week, Swayze claimed, "My treatments are working and I am winning the battle." That's certainly good news.
The film, which also stars Oscar winner Forest Whitaker, Ray Liotta, and Lisa Kudrow, details the string of circumstances that bring four strangers in Los Angeles together on Christmas Eve.
