Patti Smith's Memoir To Become a Limited Series on Showtime

Patti Smith's much sought after memoir, "Just Kids," has landed at Showtime. Co-written and produced by Patti Smith and three-time Academy Award nominee John Logan, the memoir will be developed into a Showtime limited series, to be produced with Logan's Desert Wolf Productions.

"'Just Kids' is one of my favorite memoirs of all time," said David Nevins, President of Showtime Networks Inc. "Not only is it a fascinating portrait of artists coming of age, but it's also an inspiring story of friendship, love and endurance. I'm so thrilled that Patti Smith will bring her unique voice to writing the scripts along with the gifted John Logan, who has been doing such a phenomenal job with Penny Dreadful for us."
