7 Actresses Who Should Play Young Hillary Clinton In The Upcoming Movie


Are you ready for a Hillary Clinton biopic? This is actually happening, and not on Lifetime. According to The Washington Post, a screenplay dramatizing the beginning of her career as a young lawyer with the House Judiciary Committee — and her romance with Bill Clinton — is in development by Temple Hill Entertainment. The movie is tentatively being called “Rodham” right now and is considered one of the hottest scripts out there. This sounds like total Oscar bait, not to mention a look at the struggle many women face between career and marriage/family. Getting this part as a young actress would be a total coup, so we came up with a few contenders.

    Since Sam Kinison is not available, it has to be Gilbert Gottfried.

    Actually, Gloria Swanson or Joan Crawford could play young Hillary today, no problem.
    But Maurice Gosfiled would have been perfect.

    Why the lack of diversity? Why not Idris Elba? Apparently he is ideal for playing Norse Gods and a knight in King Arthur’s court….

    They should get an actor to play her. She is like a dude. Get the guy that played Sauron.

    LOL — I love how the article notes this will be based on “one of the HOTTEST scripts out there”, which is a bit of a reach and a bit exaggerated.

    JUST FOR THE RECORD — the only reason that phrase is being tossed is because the script for “Rodham” made this year’s “Black List”. That is a Hollywood insider script list that USED to be cobbled together for fun, by asking different development heads which scripts they WISH they could make — but actually CAN’T — because they’re unable to get ANY funding for them.

    In other words, it was nothing more than a quirky “wish list”, where anonymous development heads were simply saying “NO studio and NO exec in their right mind would EVER put money behind this because it’s TOO artsy or TOO out there. But my hat’s off to the writer because
    I still thought it was a great READ.” Bottom line: the list USED to be composed of scripts that people thought were well written, but — as an actual produced movie — wouldn’t stand a snow ball’s chance in hell of ever making a dime. And that’s what made the list so much fun.

    And so, just like taking any poll, if enough development heads dropped the same name of a particular script that had been passed around…that’s how it eventually made the list.

    The problem being NOW the list is generated by polling AGENTS instead, who are only interested in generating press and publicity for their clients. So what happens is they basically scratch each others backs and say “Hey, you toss out the name of my client and I’ll toss out yours, and then we’ll both benefit financially from getting our clients some press or work.”

    And that is why this year’s list was a JOKE. It’s because — unlike past years where it was a fun “wish list” of totally un-producable movies — something like 99% of the scripts on the list ARE in actual production or active development. Hell, in some cases, they’ll even be big budget, mass market, coming soon to your multiplex productions — which goes TOTALLY against the spirit of what the list was MEANT to be. In short, now the list is nothing more than another MARKETING tool, instead of being the quirky and fun peek into the minds and personal tastes of development heads that the list USED to be.

    As for who should play Hillary, I’d go with a newly created Muppet.

    I don’t even know who any of those blonde actresses are except for Meryl Streep, who’s no more a natural blonde than Hillary is.

    First name that popped to mind when thinking of someone to play Hillary – Anne Ramsey. Yes, I know she’s dead. Probably wouldn’t have worked out anyway – don’t think she had cankles!

    Now go ahead and cry some more Apostate about how mean we are.

    Claire Danes is an excellent pick.

    I can’t believe this, how Hollywood would think it will appeal to the masses. She has done nothing, Senator was given to her, Sect of State, given to her which lead to the death of 4 MEN, lifestyle of the rich and famous, given to her by her lying cheating husband. Only one’s going will be the affirmative action liberal female. Oh, since Hollywood is so PC, how about Oprah to play her.

    I love how apopleptic right-wingers get at the mere mention of her name. It’s like an instant dickheadometer — say “Hillary Clinton” and watch who gets red in the face.

    Yes, I agree. Quite similar to that mysterious illness afflicting so many on the left: that almost psychotic hatred of Sarah Palin. Perhaps one day there will be a cure but until then…….

    That’s why her younger life is a great topic for a movie. Americans do not read background; they need infotainment. She has lived out the fate of a brilliant American woman–in his shadow until her late 50s. Senator was not “given.” She was a smart choice for the Democrat ticket. Even her Republican opponent for senate underestimated her and tried to talk down to her during debates. Too bad she knew ten times as much as he did. You have forgotten his name, but you know hers. In the Senate she learned every bit of background for the Armed Services Committee. She was well qualified for Secretary of State. One more thing–she is good at keeping private laundry private. That is a requirement for national security. She is respected everywhere but here. Shame on us.

    Hard to say the two names with the same breath. One backs up a man who uses her counsel to become governor and president, then gets her chance to serve ably as senator and secretary of state. The other quit haflway through her governorship to “go for the gold.” It is disdain, not hate.

    I remember a lot of kids in the schoolyard picking on people’s looks, calling them “four-eyes” and so forth, then laughing it up in little private gangs. I remember frat boys getting their yuks by rating and berating women students who walked by. I remember being a nerd in a world of ultra cool and often cruel. Then, I remember working at my job and–holy cow–succeeding. I may, since labels have never stuck to me, not be able to speak for a vast group on either wing. Call me average American adult. But, especially call me an adult.

    Since race and gender are irrelevant, get a black male to play the role.
