Malia Obama, the eldest daughter of President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama will be working as an intern in the New York office of bigtime Hollywood producer and Democratic party supporter Harvey Weinstein.

According to the Hollywoodreporter.com:

Malia, 18, is expected to begin work in the New York office of The Weinstein Co. in February, after the now-former first family finishes a vacation in Palm Springs. … This isn’t Malia’s first foray into Hollywood. In 2015, the Obamas’ daughter worked as an intern in New York on Lena Dunham’s HBO series ‘Girls’. She also spent time on the Los Angeles set of Halle Berry’s CBS drama series ‘Extant.

Malia graduated from the exclusive Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C., last June. It was announced shortly thereafter that she planned to take a gap year before heading to Harvard in fall 2017.
