  • Joy Mangano, Portrayed by Jennifer Lawrence in “Joy,” Invented Several Items You Might Own

    Joy Mangano, who is portrayed by Jennifer Lawrence in the film Joy, is responsible for several items featured on HSN, and sold into homes much like yours.

    Her lucrative career began in 1990, when her self-wringing Miracle Mop changed many people’s lives. Joy Mangano went on to create even more innovative, but practical household items. You might even own one or more of them today.

    Besides the Miracle Mop, Mangano is known for creating Huggable Hangers, My Little Steamer, The Organize-It-All Beauty Case, The MemoryCloud Warm & Cool Pillow, and more.

    Joy opened on Christmas Day, and already there is Oscar buzz about Jennifer Lawrence in her role as Joy Mangano. The film concentrates on her mop invention, and how the item that started her success was the catalyst for the life she lives today.

    Joy Mangano recently spoke with the Huffington Post about her life as an inventor.

    “I see the world through product,” she said. “I could be walking and see someone struggling with a product and my brain just stops. How can I make someone’s life a little easier, a little more stylish?”

  • Jennifer Lawrence to Star in ‘Joy’

    Jennifer Lawrence is set to play the role of Miracle Mop inventor Joy Mangano in an upcoming film called Joy. Due out on Christmas Day 2015, the film will be directed by David O. Russell.

    Jennifer Lawrence and the director have worked together before and they’ve enjoyed great success as a result of their prior collaborations. He directed Silver Linings Playbook for which she won an Oscar and American Hustle for which she received an Oscar nomination.

    The new film will tell the tale of the single mom from Long Island who became famous both for her mop–it allowed people to clean their floors without getting their hands dirty–as well as for her presence on TV shopping networks.

    “He recently texted me at, I think, 4 in the morning, and was like, ‘I think I want to make a movie about the woman who invented the [Miracle] Mop. You want to do it?’ And I was like, yeah,” Jennifer Lawrence said.

    She added, “I could just imagine David looking at somebody mopping and being like, ‘Yeah, that’s my next screenplay.’”

    Jennifer Lawrence is presently busy filming parts one and two of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay . Her role as Katniss Everdeen is really what launched her career, taking her from smaller roles to starring in A-list films.

    Some may question how interesting or exciting a film about a woman who invented a mop might be, however if David O. Russell is directing and he has signed someone as sought after as Jennifer Lawrence for the leading role then the story must be well worth telling. Lawrence is clearly a very diverse actress who doesn’t disappoint.
