krome2ez Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Here’s the First Look at Jane Fonda as Nancy Reagan Posted on September 12, 2012 at 8:24am by Madeleine Morgenstern We now have the first look at actress Jane Fonda as Nancy Reagan, along with Alan Rickman as the Gipper for the upcoming film “The Butler.” The film is a historical drama based on a Washington Post article about longtime White House servant Eugene Allen, who served eight presidents from Harry Truman through Ronald Reagan. The announcement of Fonda’s casting raised eyebrows back in March about the well-known liberal activist portraying the iconic former first lady. Fonda wrote on her website last month of how proud she was to playing her, and saying she knows Nancy Reagan herself is “pleased” about it. “I’m excited about this. I feel very ready to take her on… I know that she (Nancy) is pleased that I am playing her. I know this because a friend of mine, writer Annette Tapert, was at a party given for her… birthday. I asked Annette to tell Ms Reagan I was honoured to be playing her,” Fonda wrote. The photo emerged Tuesday when Oprah Winfrey, who is acting in the film as Allen’s wife, posted it on Twitter. Pictured on the left is director Lee Daniels.

AAAHHHH, I just lost my lunch. Now I'm going to need therapy and pills after that visual thanks Snotrocket! :lol: Hanoi Jane to play Mrs Regan Wow My sentiments exactly bud, they should have shot her back then. No way is Nancy pleased about being played by a traitor. Edited September 12, 2012 by DiveDeepSix 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desimo Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 That is an insult. Jane Fonda and Nancy Reagan should not even be used in the same sentence. Personally, I hope the ghost of Ron comes along and smacks Jane in the head! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francie26 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I won't watch Jane Fonda in anything. I did see her in a couple movies before she went to Vietman, and as I recall, she was a pretty good actress. But she is a traitor, and for me, that comes before any other consideration I might have given her. Furthermore, she has never apologized for her actions to the many American heros she betrayed. If she ever manages to get their forgiveness, then I'll get in line behind them. But until then, I want nothing to do with her, and that includes watching her in a movie I might otherwise have enjoyed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She doesn't even look like Nancy Reagan, she looks almost exactly like Nancy Pelosi, maybe they got the script mixed up. Pelosi and Fonda, now that would be a more accurate match up, both haters of America!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kliklok00 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I understand the concept of forgiveness...it has to come from the heart...and my heart has not liked Jane Fonda since Vietnam. Oh well, I'm sure my dislike of her has not affected her life much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
