Los Angeles - US actress Mariel Hemingway will star as California's First Lady Maria Shriver in a television movie about the remarkable rise to power of Arnold Schwarzenegger, reports said on Monday.
German actor Jurgen Prochnow will play the Austrian-born governor of California, a former bodybuilder and movie star, while Hemingway will step into the shoes of Kennedy family-heiress Shriver, Hollywood Reporter said.
The A and E television biographic See Arnold Run will chronicle Schwarzenegger's rise from poverty in Austria to become a Hollywood star and governor.
Prochnow has starred in films such as German director Wolfgang Petersen's 1981 film Das Boot and Hollywood epic Air Force One.
Roland Kickinger, who starred in Son of the Beach, will play the younger Schwarzenegger.
Hemingway, the granddaughter of US author Ernest Hemingway, earned an Oscar nomination in 1980 for Woody Allen's Manhattan, one of her first acting roles.
Shriver is a well-known television journalist and is the niece of slain US president John F Kennedy. She has been married to Schwarzenegger for 18 years.
