Jennifer Aniston is gearing up to play beauty pageant queen-turned-sports manager Denise White in her upcoming sports drama 'The Fixer.'

The 46-year-old actress will act as executive producer, along Kristin Hahn, of the movie for Fox 2000, according to the Deadline.

Dallas Buyers Club co-writer Melisa Wallack adapted the script from Paul Solotaroff's 2014 Men's Journal article titled 'The Woman Who Bails Out the NFL's Bad Boys,' which chronicled Denise's rise to the top of the sports world.

The feature told the story of the life and career achievements of Denise, who prior to building a successful sports management company called EAG, was a contestant in the Miss USA pageant and won the Miss Congeniality title in 1994.

 

Meanwhile, Jennifer will be seen on screens in forthcoming movies 'Mother's Day' and 'The Yellow Birds,' out later this year.
