EXCLUSIVE: Meghan Markle plans to return to acting but will only work with A-list directors like Ava DuVernay in a 'breakout role' because current offers are too 'cheesy and beneath' former Suits actress

Meghan Markle plans to return to acting but is only interested in working with A-list directors in the hopes she'll secure a breakout role so she'll be taken seriously as an actress, an industry source exclusively told DailyMail.com. The former Suits actress is worried critics are going to be especially hard on her, so she wants to make sure a director of the right caliber is attached to the project. The Duchess of Sussex has 'been telling her agents that she wants Ava DuVernay involved, and that they need to find the right script,' the insider added. Although Meghan has received lots of offers, 'she thinks the majority of them are cheesy and beneath her.'

She could play Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a movie and vice versa.

She’s no Grace Kelly, who had the good sense to retire from acting when she married Prince Rainier.

I thought she was not the Duchess of Sussex any more. Do they still retain the titles?

Ava DuVernay is a "person of color" who draws inspiration from stories and subjects about "persons of color" or is backed by mountains of cash (Oprah and Disney 'A Wrinkle in Time') from a 'person of color' as well as a company trying to virtue signal.

Calling her an A-list director is a stretch since her only big-budget movie on record flopped hard. Artsy-fartsy types will think she is A-list, but again, virtue signaling is all the rage right now.

Her next project I think is on Katrina, I guess there is more life in that racial propaganda since I thought Spike Lee already beat that dead horse to death.

The Yatch-girl princess name dropped her specifically to ruffle the feathers of her brother in-law, father in-law, and the Queen because DuVernay is a race baiting tryhard attempting to become the female version of Spike Lee.

Hey Markle! Stick to gold digging; it’s the only thing you’re good at.

Go to about the mid part where they discuss what went on with filming Funny Girl and then Hello Dolly.

I agree. The only question now is whether it is made before or after the divorce, or comes out before or after and will Harry be part of it.

I only saw her in Suits. She was mediocre, at best. Not very pretty, either. I don’t get the fuss.

baby Archie is too white, LOL......

It makes me laugh that she self identifies as black or African-American, when she appears as anything but that.

I have never been much of a movie person but have started to watch more in the last year or two. (Something to do with getting older and slowing down a bit, I suspect.) I have started to pay attention to the "most overlooked/most underrated" lists, of which you will find many online. Scan a list of 20 or so films and you will probably find three or four that catch your interest. These will be small films, many of them by independent producers, that were not part of the major studio hype machine, which is oriented towards the hoped-for blockbusters. You will not have heard of most of them because they didn't get big marketing campaigns and may have gone direct to streaming, but there is a lot of good storytelling going on. My opinion of Hollywood has actually improved a bit. There has always been a toxic element in Hollywood, but there are also a lot of talented people who just want to make good films.

My favorite find of the last year: Columbus, directed by Kogonada (a made up name behind which the director conceals his real life identity) and starring John Cho and Haley Lu Richardson. There are no comic book superheroes, explosions, car chases, sex scenes, zombies, terrorists or aliens. Nobody dies. It's just decent, honorable, likeable people treating each other with respect and kindness as they deal with some weighty issues. The adrenalin junkies think the film is too slow, but if you give it time for the story to come to you, you will care about the characters soon enough.

When I see Meghan, I think about that 1959 film called
“Imitation of Life” with Lana Turner, Sandra Dee and Susan Kohner. Lana plays Lora Meridith an actress, but the sub-plot involves Annie Johnson, Lora’s newly widowed black maid.
Lora has a daughter (Sarah Jane) who has very light skin and straight hair. Eventually, Sarah Jane gets older and decides to find a job, maybe a man too. She begins to pass herself off as being white. Suddenly, she “doesn’t know” her mother anymore.

The movie sounds schloky and soap opera-ish, but it was very well acted.

Never has there existed a person who was more irrelevant to the serious matters of the world. The current crisis just shines a blazing spotlight on how utterly unimportant celebrities and celebrity culture are.

That is why I loved the scene in “Once upon a time in Hollywood” where Brad Pitt’s character picks up the 110 pound guy playing Bruce Lee and smashes him into the car door.

That is why they have weight classes in boxing and wrestling.
