IS Hollywood really ready to give a 67-year-old woman a leading role in a big-budget production?
Hillary Clinton’s campaign has echoes of various classic movies: “Single White Female,” with Hillary creepily co-opting the identity of the more trendy Elizabeth Warren; “My Fair Lady,” with Hillary sitting meekly and being schooled on how to behave by tyrannical Pygmalions (Iowa voters); “The Usual Suspects,” with Hillary’s hoodlums, Sidney Blumenthal and David Brock, vying to be Keyser Söze; and, of course, “How to Steal a Million,” a caper about a heist plotted by a couple that doesn’t need the money.
From a narrative point of view, Hollywood is more intrigued with the scenario of their old raffish Southern favorite, Bill Clinton, as the first First Lad than the earnest Midwestern Hillary as the first female POTUS.
On TV, after all, women presidents are old hat.
I recently interviewed several dozen Hollywood players, mostly on background because of fears about the famed Clinton vindictive streak.
They aren’t over the moon about Barack Obama anymore, and even feel burned. He was like a razzle-dazzle trailer that turned out to be a disappointing movie with mediocre box office.
You hear plenty of complaints about the president’s mingy care and feeding of donors.
“It’s not unheard-of to think that liking people is part of the job,” one political consultant to the stars said tartly.
Hollywood is mostly united behind Hillary, with a few Bernie outliers and Elizabeth dreamers. But it’s a forced march.
“There’s this feeling like, ‘Oh, damn! Now we’re all going to have to show up to Jeffrey’s event,’ ” said one studio big shot.

Ah, the joys of Stalinism.
Her flying monkeys are going to make everyone in Hollyweird march.
What Bill said on their wedding night?
Gosh, I’m tired of reading Dowd’s mean girl snarks - even when they apply to people I despise. How many years have we been forced to endure this unhappy chick’s columns? 25? 30? Seems more like 40. If we could only retire Down, Parker & Noonan, we’d be a better country.
How about a remake of “Creature from the Black Lagoon”?
“Sunset Boulevard” seems right to me.
At least until Pinch squanders the last Old Gray Lady money.
Maureen be bobbing and weaving, LOL...
I still think the real Rat Pres candidate is being held back. Soros and the other billionaires will keep him under raps a few more months.
Anyway, it is still a bit shocking to see The Old Gray Streetwalker turn on their beloved Second Family. (The Kennedys are first).
You’re right, of course.
She has the biggest feet I’ve ever seen.
Hillary wears her perpetual 2016 game face.
==============================================
Mega-billionaires Hillary and Bill hired an army of fixers and marketeers to retool Hillary for 2016. Hillary connivingly planned to campaign on "income inequality" .......running as a phony populist. Campaign strategists warned Hillary her "tone" is important.....( to better dupe the voters).
