Joan Allen and Jeremy Irons have apparently signed for a film biopic about Georgia O'Keeffe.

The Lifetime film will follow the turbulent love affair between the artist (Allen) and photographer Alfred Steiglitz (Irons), which spanned more than two decades.

Helen Verno, Sony Pictures TV's evp for movies, called the artist "the iconic role model for unique, talented, brilliant and liberated women of all ages".

"The project is sure to speak to viewers who are inspired by her love affair with Alfred Steiglitz and the extraordinary work they created during the many years of their relationship," she added.

The film is due to air towards the end of 2009.
