Grant come together as partners in crime. Both McCarthy and Grant received BAFTA®, Academy Award® and Golden Globe nominations for Leading Actress, and Supporting Actor, respectively, for their incredible performances in this fascinating, and captivating biopic.
McCarthy portrays Lee Israel, a frustrated, hard-drinking author who can barely afford to pay her rent or bills in 1990s New York.
