Jane Fonda to play Nancy Reagan

[Quantum Windbag]

Makes sense to me.

Not.

In the midst of recruiting an all-star ensemble for his long-gestating passion project "The Butler," director Lee Daniels has tapped Jane Fonda to play Nancy Reagan.

A butler's viewpoint of Reagan. Can you imagine what the maid might have said about Bubba Bill Clinton?

First, politics aside, Fonda is a fine actress. No arguing that.

Second, if you're expecting an unbiased portrayal of the Reagans, you're the king of Fantasyland.

I agree. Although Fonda is way prettier by far, they do share a slight resemblance. Nancy should be flattered that Fonda has been chosen to play her.

Sounds like a winner already...with just the first cast member.

Interesting that you aren't actually able to point out why you think she is a good actress, is that because you wonder why anyone would believe that?

I set mine aside a long time ago, I think she sucks. But I do appreciate you actually stating your opinion instead of trying to lay the proof she is good on others.

Now the radical RWers are suggesting that we aren't to accept that view of The Oscars and The Gold Globes as to who is and who is not a good actor.

CLASSIC!!!
