Biography
Lauren Greenfield (born 1966) is an American artist, documentary photographer, and documentary filmmaker. She has published four photographic monographs, directed four documentary features, and a documentary series, produced four traveling exhibitions, and published in magazines throughout the world.
In March 2014, Greenfield won a lawsuit brought by the film's main subject David Siegel. Siegel claimed Greenfield had not obtained a proper release from the subjects of the film, in particular David Siegel and Westgate Resorts. An IFTA arbitrator supported Greenfield's position and also awarded her $750,000 for legal fees.
In 2023, it was announced that the documentary would be adapted into a Broadway musical, also called The Queen of Versailles, starring Kristin Chenoweth and with music composed by Stephen Schwartz.
