And he made a triumphant phone call -- "Chief!! I found just the right woman to play Ruth Bader Ginsberg!"
She’s a little bit bony. Maybe after some cheese burgers...
Why is she famous? She’s not that attractive or sexy. She’s a horrible actress.
I can’t think of a movie topic more boring than RB Ginsburg.
You has cheezeburgher?
All she has to do is know how to sleep while sitting up in a chair.
Apparently, Ruth Buzzi was unavailable.
She can watches films of her previous performances. That should help with the sleeping part.
Hey Portman: Why don’t you play the part of a woman with true courage? Pam Geller.
Natalie Portman is going to play Ruth Bader Ginsburg?
For real? You ARE kidding me, right?
I know this is Hollywood, but, Natalie Portman? Ruth Bader Ginsburg?
Now I gotta open the last bottle of bourbon. No way I can accept that sober.
I’m sure people confuse them all the time.
Well, she does look like a bird anymore, so yeah, I guess whe play type...
And she doesn’t even need sleeping pills.....
Well, that’s definitely a must see. /s
If they hold off till after Nov. 2016, Hillary will be available for the part.
A Ginsberg biopic...well I’m going to have to have the DVD.
