Experienced, brilliant, Susan McMartin grasps all I wanted to communicate in Upper Cut.
“Carrie’s life story is made for the big screen,” remarked Fox, “and I hope it will inspire women to change their lives, reinvent themselves no matter what age they are, and to follow their dreams no matter how wild and outlandish they might seem!”Īdded White, “Dedicated and talented, Dorothy and Mark Canton are my trusted stewards. Julia and I have worked together on a couple of projects, and she is a force to be reckoned with.” Her writing is honest, raw, hilarious, heartbreaking and takes you on a journey that at times feels unbelievable - but it’s all true! I’m equally thrilled that the beautiful, smart, talented, badass Julia Fox will be playing the role of Carrie. “Having grown up in Los Angeles myself, as well as having faced my own demons with addiction, Carrie’s book resonated with me on a very personal level. “I’m truly honored to adapt Carrie’s incredible story of sex, drugs, rock n roll and HAIR for the screen,” commented McMartin.

She fueled the frenetic pace of her professional life with a steady diet of champagne and vodka, pills, cocaine, and heroin until she lost everything. But behind the glamorous facade, Carrie’s world was in perpetual disarray. Upper Cut is an unflinching portrayal of addiction and recovery as told through the eyes of White, who’s otherwise known as the “First Lady of Hairdressing.” White was behind the scenes of every Hollywood photo shoot, TV appearance, and party in the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s, collaborating with Richard Avedon on shoots for Vogue, partying with Jim Morrison, giving Nurse Ratchett her signature style, getting high with Jimi Hendrix, and touching the heads of Marlon Brando, Elizabeth Taylor, Elvis Presley, Warren Beatty, Julie Christie, and Goldie Hawn, to name only a few.
Mark and Dorothy Canton’s Atmosphere Entertainment has acquired the rights to Upper Cut: Highlights of My Hollywood Life, an internationally bestselling memoir by Carrie White, which it is developing for film.
