Lady Gaga was cast as convicted murderer Patrizia Reggiani in Sir Ridley Scott’s forthcoming film about the death of Maurizio Gucci, the grandson of the man who founded the Italian fashion house, according to BBC News. Reggiani was a socialite who had two children with Gucci before they divorced in 1985; though she served eighteen years in prison for ordering an assassin to execute her ex-husband outside his Milan office in 1995 as part of a Mafia-style hit, the “Black Widow” proclaims her innocence. Gaga was nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award in Bradley Cooper’s A Star Is Born (2018).
