Hollywood stars Meryl Streep, Gwyneth Paltrow and Annette Bening are teaming up for a new movie about the Watergate scandal that toppled ex-US president Richard Nixon.
Streep, 56, who has won two Oscars and been nominated for a record 13, will play Martha Mitchell, the whistle-blowing wife of former US attorney general John Mitchell, in a celluloid version of John Jeter's play Dirty Tricks.

Oscar-nominated actress Bening will play [Helen] Thomas, who worked for United Press International, while Paltrow with take on the role of Maureen Dean, the wife of White House counsel John Dean, who stood firmly by her husband when he was dragged into the fray.
Veteran actress Jill Clayburgh will play the president's wife, Pat Nixon, who grew to loathe Mitchell for destabilising the presidency, according to Variety.
I read quite a bit about Martha Mitchell et al in Helen Thomas's books.
