Jessica Chastain Transforms into Tammy Faye Bakker for Biopic

The Oscar-nominated actress will portray the fallen TV evangelist.

A Tammy Faye Bakker biopic is also in the works and Jessica Chastain will play the role. She’s been studying years of information for it including reading and watching interviews of Tammy. The project aims to tell the story of Tammy and her first husband Jim Bakker who grew the PTL Club into a multimillion dollar industry before it collapsed following a sex scandal involving Jim and Jessica Hahn.
