Scribe Naomi Foner Gyllenhaal is teaming with Sandra Bullock and her Fortis Films on the indie biopic "Grace." The project is based on the life of scribe Grace Metalious, whose first novel was the 1956 tome "Peyton Place," an inspiration for both a television show and a feature film. The success of such a unique book for the time period brought Metalious many rewards, but it also led to a broken marriage, family problems and alcohol addiction that eventually took her life less than 10 years later.
