Deepa Mehta set to film last Korean crown princess' story
'Water' director Deepa Mehta will soon be bringing the story of Julia Mullock, the American interior designer who married the last crown prince of Korea, to the big screen with her movie 'The Julia Project'.
According to Contactmusic, the focus of the Toronto based director's film will be Julia Mullock, who met crown prince Lee Ku in New York City in the 1950s after Japanese colonisation and subsequent independence had removed the royal family from any official function in Korea.
The couple were married at St George’s Church in New York on 25 October 1959. For the first part of their marriage the couple lived in Hawaii, but later moved to Seoul.
The inability to produce an heir brought enormous family pressure on the couple, and after separating in 1977, the two divorced in 1982.
Lee Ku died in 2005 at the age of 75 following a heart attack. Julia Mullock still lives in Hawaii. — ANI
