Sarandon to Play Cindy Sheehan in Movie... [Drudge headline]
SFGate/via Drudge ^ | 3-19-06 | Vicki Haddock

Posted on 03/19/2006 9:16:35 AM PST by SquirrelKing

The sun is rising over a house in the Berkeley Hills, and in its modest studio apartment, America's most compelling anti-war activist is making her bed, apologizing for the clutter and running late.

Cindy Sheehan was up much of the previous night while emergency room doctors treated her daughter for a painful cyst, but sleeping in is out of the question. Soon a car will whisk her off to a Canadian TV interview, to be followed by a local TV interview, and finally, fixing spaghetti for her three adult children in Vacaville -- her home before the death of her soldier son Casey and the political trajectory of her anguish propelled her to divorce, to estrangement from friends, and to a frenetic campaign to end U.S. military involvement in Iraq.

[Listen to a podcast about Cindy Sheehan]

And where is "home" to her now?

She pauses and sighs, sinking into the window seat and pulling a quilt up to her chin. "Nowhere, really ... ."

She's averaging just two days per month here. The next morning she will fly off again, the surreal star of what is -- depending largely on one's political perspective -- either an epic tragedy or a farce. After stops for protests in New Orleans and Washington, D.C., she will breakfast in Manhattan with actress Susan Sarandon, who is set to portray her in a biopic movie. A crew will film Sheehan for a weekly reality series on the Sundance Channel. Her letters to President Bush inspired "Peace Mom," a one-woman monologue show in London. A memoir is due to her publisher April 1.

She's never been attractive

She could look pretty darn attractive for years. She just played so many roles as a "hussy"/loose woman type, that it sort of can't be washed from the image of her. (jmo)

Susan Sarandon is a beautiful woman..misguided, yes, but you can't deny she's a great looking woman.

And, I'd add a damn good actress. (Quick name me 5 modern day actresses with who are better from an artistic point of view)

All that said, her politics are still a bunch of of sh!t. I have heard liberal high school students speak with more intelligence on the issues of the day that her or her brain dead husband.

Liberal Hollywood actors and actresses are a joke. An overt boycott of her and her ilk is more than overdue. Her way of thinking is dangerous to the country. yeah, I'll be politically incorrect and challenge her patriotism.As much as I admire her talent (yes and her beauty), I will not spend one more dime on seeing her movies. That includes rentals.

And just who is paying for this apartment? All that travel?

What is with her smiling in those pictures. It's as if she gets off being arrested.

The woman is deranged.

She absolutely does. These are just cheap stunts to keep her face [shudder] in the camera. If she were meek, quiet and sincere, all this may resonate and have impact. Like this, she's just a shill and a one-trick pony.
