About the Can You Ever Forgive Me? 💬

• Based on the true story.

Melissa McCarthy stars as real-life literary forger Lee Israel in CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME?

The true story of best-selling celebrity biographer (and friend to cats) Lee Israel (Melissa McCarthy) who made her living in the 1970s and 80's profiling the likes of Katharine Hepburn, Tallulah Bankhead, Estee Lauder, and journalist Dorothy Kilgallen. When Lee is no longer able to get published because she has fallen out of step with current tastes, she turns her art form to deception, abetted by her loyal friend Jack Hock (Richard E. Grant).

• DIRECTOR AND ACTORS' STATEMENTS

''I want to be able to tell stories about women who society would otherwise ignore and not look at closely, and Lee is somebody who was certainly very flawed, but also really resourceful and ingenious. Whether or not you agree with what she did - because there's no doubt what she did was criminal - she used her brains and her gifts to achieve something when all looked lost. She figured out a way to survive and to keep going, and most of all, she had some real fun while doing it.''

Marielle Heller

''I have become so attached to Lee that I just want people to see her for everything she was: for her talent, her intelligence, her caustic, remarkable wit and to also see her difficult circumstances, her flaws, her broken heart, her anger. I want people to love her as much as I do.''

Melissa McCarthy as Lee Israel

''The chance to be so out there and exuberant and willing just to say and do whatever you want is something that I never get to do in my real life. There's also something beautifully sleazy about Jack, too, which I really like, because I lead a much more sort of moral, upright life. But there is also enormous pathos and poignancy in how things end up for him and his story is quite moving.''
