Jacqueline Susann’s 1966 novel Valley of the Dolls "is getting a series treatment by Oscar-nominated Precious director Lee Daniels," Deadline.com reported. NBC has bought the project from 20th Century Fox TV and Chernin Entertainment. Daniels will write and direct the TV series version, "which will be based on the 1967 Valley of the Dolls feature adaptation." In addition to the original film, the novel, which has sold more than 30 million copies, was also adapted as a mini-series in 1981 and a late-night soap opera in 1994.
