‘Victoria Gotti: My Father’s Daughter’ Preview
Per Lifetime’s synopsis, Victoria Gotti: My Father’s Daughter “takes us deep into the world of what it was really like to grow up as the daughter of mob boss John Gotti, revealing the glamour, glitz and unique hardships of the world.”
It promises to reveal “never-before-revealed stories” about the life of Victoria Gotti and her father, which doesn’t seem like an overstatement considering Gotti herself is directly involved in the project.
Not only is she an executive producer, but she claims to have written the original script and second draft of the film, which is based on her 2009 memoir, “This Family of Mine: What it Was Like Growing up Gotti.” The official teleplay credit for the film is listed as David Schneiderman, but Gotti says that he worked off her original script and then her co-credit was ultimately dropped because of “logistics and bureaucracy.”
Additionally, while she is played by Chelsea Frei, Gotti appears in the film on camera as a narrator.
“When David did his last pass, it was so flat that I just said let me try something here. I’m going to try to incorporate some of my writing skills,” she said. “So I put a few pieces of narration in. And then after those few, whoever was reading it loved it and I got a call back saying they wanted more. And I said OK and put a lot more in.”
My Father’s Daughter is directed by Catherine Cyan and executive produced by Gotti, Jennifer Wachtell and Holly Carter.
And this may not be the last we hear from Gotti. Many remember her for the A&E reality show Growing Up Gotti, in which her and three sons, Frank, Carmine and John, starred from 2004 to 2005, and while she was never really a fan of that originally, she promises that she has something else on the horizon.
“I always said ‘I don’t know if we should be rewarded for that or spanked for starting that craze.’ But we’re actually working on something right now. We’re coming back,” she said. “We’re doing something that I think is going to be really big.”
