Producers Howard and Karen Baldwin have acquired life story rights from Rodney Dangerfield's widow and plan to develop and produce a biopic through their Baldwin Entertainment Group reports Variety.

The Baldwins were producers on "Ray" and "Sahara". This film will be based at least in part on "It's Not Easy Bein' Me," Dangerfield's 2004 autobiography. "Rodney took the indignities of everyday life and spun them into golden one-liners that endeared him to millions around the world," Rodney's widow Joan Dangerfield said. "But while he was making everyone forget their troubles by laughing at his, Rodney's own life was a heavy-hearted one".

With his signature puffy eyed look and average but extremely outspoken style comedy which made fun of everyone and everything including himself, Dangerfield endeared himself to many fans with comedy classics such as "Caddyshack," "Back to School," "Easy Money," and "Natural Born Killers" along with many TV appearances on the likes of "The Simpsons," "Home Improvement," and "In Living Color".

Thanks to 'Mary'.
