(CBS) Demi Moore will portray feminist Gloria Steinem in the upcoming biopic "Lovelace."

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the 49-year-old actress will have a cameo in the film about porn star Linda Lovelace, who appeared in the 1972 adult movie "Deep Throat."

Steinem, the founder of Ms. magazine, criticized adult entertainment and wrote the 1972 profile, "The Real Linda Lovelace," in which she detailed how Lovelace was forced into the industry.

Amanda Seyfried will play the title role in "Lovelace," while Eric Roberts will portray a lie-detector expert, and Adam Brody will star as "Deep Throat" male lead Harry Reems.

"Lovelace," which is currently filming in Los Angeles, will also feature Sharon Stone, Wes Bentley, Hank Azaria, Robert Patrick, Bobby Cannavale and Chris Noth.

Moore has been keeping somewhat of a low profile since splitting with Ashton Kutcher in the fall. This year, she'll appear in the comedy, "LOL," co-starring Miley Cyrus and Ashley Greene.

Tell us: Do you think Moore will make a good Steinem?

Demi really needs a new hairdo. This one is making her look older than her years.

She is 50.
She is old. Why do you think she started chasing younger men like a little schoolgirl when she went after Mr "That 70's Show." lol

Probably not, as Lovelace was technically her title. They're churning out biographies like bloody aol disks these days. At least make one about someone important.; Reply to this comment

by DerpDerpDerpityDerp January 3, 2012 3:12 PM EST: It makes sense for Demi Moore to appear in this movie as her acting abilities are similar to Linda Lovelace's. They both suck, so to speak.; Reply to this comment


by klilly January 3, 2012 2:28 PM EST: This movie has catostrophic failure and flop written all over it. What person in their right mind would go sit through one and a half to 2 hours of thios sure to be "I'm a victim--blame a man" man hating fest. lol; Reply to this comment
