“The higher the hair, the closer to God.”
Gwen Shamblin — the bouffant-sporting megachurch leader and weight-loss guru who died in a 2021 plane crash — is getting the Lifetime movie treatment, and EW has the exclusive first look at the trailer.
Premiering Feb. 4, Gwen Shamblin: Starving for Salvation stars Jennifer Grey as the controversial religious leader who built an empire by combining a diet plan called the Weigh Down Workshop with Biblical teachings. As Shamblin tells her flock in the trailer, “Your stomach doesn't need food — it needs God.”
