She’s so good. My goodness she was pretty as a young actress.

She looks like one of the sisters from Heart.

She’s just another whore who started her career doing nude stuff.
That’s her talent.
This idol worship is so tiring.

I think she’s a very good actress but I’m no director. What do I know?
To: nickcarraway
She is such an incredible actress, she could play Moses and satisfy most fans!

“Dame Maureen argued, nevertheless, that a Jewish actor should have been considered first and that a Jewish audience will recognise the difference.”
Fine, provided it goes both ways. Actors/actresses that aren’t Jewish should have priority for characters that aren’t Jewish.

If Swedish Ingrid Bergman was ok for the role, why not Dame Helen? AKA from her younger days, Her Hotness.
I wonder if they will include a scene where, during the 1973 War after he opened the American arsenal to Israel, she fondly describes Richard Nixon "My President".
Nah!

And I doubt they’ll show the story of Meir costing many Israeli lives by kowtowing to Henry Kissinger.

Let thenatresses actress.. Ingrid Bergman wasn’t Jewish either. And for all of Golda’s assets, being easy on the eyes was not one of them.

I've enjoyed her work.
Acting is pretending.
She can't pretended she's a Jew but Lia Thomas can pretended he's a female?

What's this now; cultural appropriation?
Oy vey!

And some black guy can pretend to be Alexander Hamilton.

Another illustrious dame, Maureen Lipman, was first to raise the issue – or “blast” Mirren, according to some reports last week...Maureen Lipman illustrious?! Never heard of her!

The choice of a non-Jewish actor to star as a woman with such a prominent place in the history of Israel has prompted irritation on both sides of the argument.But the Guardian was ecstatic over the cast of 'Hamilton'.
