Hanoi Jane to Critics of Her Reagan Role: Get a Life
April 12, 2013

The Hollywood trade magazine The Hollywood Reporter (THR) reports that conservative opposition is slowly building toward a possible boycott of the movie The Butler, still six months away from appearing in theaters. Thats because lifelong leftist activist Jane Fonda is slated to portray Ronald Reagans wife Nancy in the flick. I figured it would tweak the right, shrugs Fonda. Who cares?
The drama is the true story of Eugene Allen, White House butler to every president from 1952 to 1986. Jane Fonda famously photographed straddling a Viet Cong anti-aircraft gun in North Vietnam forty years ago as the wife of patriotic icon Reagan is a choice that hardly seems coincidental; more likely casting Hanoi Jane was a direct and purposeful insult to the conservative American audience, whom many Hollywood elites openly despise.
...
Fonda claims that she actually had a portion of the script changed because it made Nancy Reagan look too mean if true, this says less about Fondas respect for Nancy than the writers mean-spirited bias (The Butlers writer Danny Strong was also responsible for HBOs Game Change and its demeaning caricature of Sarah Palin). I might not have always agreed with Nancy Reagan, but I admire her, and Id never try to insert my views when playing her, says Fonda. Well see come October when the film hits theaters.
