Here Are Druggy Highlights of Gina Gershon's Donatella Versace Biopic

Read more!

Lifetime's House of Versace aired last night, and it was excellent to see Gina Gershon in her old thematic stomping ground of playing a coked-up lady boss set on making everyone's lives miserable. Though critically savaged, I'd wager that Gershon's alternately groggy and raving portrayal of Donatella Versace (complete with a caricature of Donatella's rumbling, accented basso) will age about as well as her iconic turn in Showgirls as Cristal Connors.

If nothing else, House of Versace is a solid entry in the spiraling-women subgenre of camp. In the clip reel above, Gershon snorts, boozes, throws shoes, and breaks her champagne glass on a chandelier—that's her wake-up call, the luxe version of the straw that broke the camel's back.

Keep an eye out for the animatronic creation playing Raquel Welch playing Donatella's Aunt Lucia.
