Dame Margot Fonteyn
Hogarth Pictures

FYI...

Track Record: Following his success as one of the producers on Oscar-nominated Being Julia in 2004, Mark Milln decided to join forces with lawyer Kami Naghdi and start Hogarth Pictures. The company is currently raising finances and initially plans to go into production on a biopic of ballet legend Dame Margot Fonteyn (pictured above); Ronald Harwood is penning the script. It's aided by an advisory board that includes Hugh Grant, David Aukin and Harwood himself.
Go Figure: £6 million - the amount of money Hogarth is hoping to raise.
UK OK? Come on, is it possible to get any more English than Hugh Grant?
Yes, Really: Margot Fonteyn continued to perform onstage until she was 60, finally retiring in 1979.
