Barack Obama and Michelle Obama's elder daughter has
landed an internship with famed producer Harvey Weinstein. A source told The
Hollywood Reporter that the 18-year-old is expected to begin working in the New
York City office of The Weinstein Co. in February, after the First Family ends
its vacation in Palm Springs.
The New York Post's Page Six first reported the news of
Malia's internship Thursday. Reps for the Weinstein Co. did not comment, while
reps for the Obamas did not immediately respond. The Hollywood Reporter said
Malia may intern in the marketing or development departments.
"Malia has expressed some interest in
film-making," Michelle told People in 2012. Malia's latest gig should come
as no surprise, as she spent time on the L.A. set of Halle Berry's CBS series
Extant in 2014, and she interned on the New York set of Lena Dunham's HBO
series Girls.
Malia, who took a gap year after graduating high school,
will attend Harvard University this fall.
Barack, meanwhile, will work on his presidential
library, set up a foundation and write a book. "I'm not going to Wall
Street," he recently said in a 60 Minutes interview. "The amount of
time that I'll be investing in issues is going to be high. But it'll be
necessarily in a different capacity."
With Sasha Obama still attending high school in
Washington, D.C., he added, "I'm going to spend time with Michelle. You
know, we got some catching up to do. We've both been busy."
Michelle, meanwhile, is reportedly working on a memoir.
