JTA It’s a Meir moment.
Academy Award winner Helen Mirren will portray Golda Meir, Israel’s only female prime minister, in an upcoming biopic set during the Yom Kippur War.
Production on “Golda” will begin later this year, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The news follows the announcement last month of another star-powered production on Meir, a series titled “Lioness” led by Israeli actress Shira Haas of “Unorthodox” fame.
While “Lioness” will follow Meir from “her birth in Kiev to her American upbringing in Milwaukee, her role in the formation of Israel and her rise to become the new nation’s first and only female prime minister,” according to a report in Deadline, “Golda” will focus on the turbulent Yom Kippur War period.

LONDON A decade after penning the hit musical “Oliver!,” composer Lionel Bart was on the search for a strong female character to build a new show around, alongside his partner Roger Cook, a popular singer, songwriter and record producer.
“We both wanted to write a musical about a strong woman, and Lionel came up with the idea of Golda,” Cook tells The Times of Israel. “We both read her autobiography [“My Life”] and the music and songs just sprung off the pages for us.”
