Hillary Clinton Wants Meryl Streep to Play Her in a Movie About Her Life

By Liz Kreutz

Jul 6, 2014

Actress Meryl Streep uses her iPhone to get a photo of her and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton following the State Department Dinner for the Kennedy Center Honors gala Saturday, Dec. 1, 2012 at the State Department in Washington.

There appears to be one choice for Hillary Clinton that is not a hard one: that is, which actress she would want to play her in a movie about her life. The former secretary of state, who is currently touring Europe promoting her new memoir, “Hard Choices,” is quite certain that if she could choose who would portray her in a film, actress Meryl Streep, 65, would be her top pick. “If I had a choice, it would be Meryl Streep, of course!” Clinton, 66, said, without any hesitation, during a video interview with the Guardian on Friday. The two powerful women have been pretty chummy over the years.

At a State Department Dinner for the Kennedy Center Honors gala two years ago, Clinton and Streep made headlines when they posed for a selfie together.

And Streep has even compared herself to the former secretary of state: “I find a lot of similarities,” Streep said at the Women in the World Summit in 2012. “We’re roughly the same age, we both have two brothers — mine are annoying — we both grew up in middle-class homes with spirited, big-hearted mothers who encouraged us to do something valuable and interesting with our lives.

We both went from public high schools to distinguished women’s colleges. … We both went on to graduate school at Yale.”

How about Elizabeth (Fauxahontas) Warren—so good at playing fake. She looks a tad like Hellary plus she’s been anointed to be the next Hellary in waiting. What an honor for her to have the role. Or rolls-—— (’

A liberal bubblehead to play a liberal bubblehead. Hard to argue with that. But Streep is a good actor. She would have to be to make Hildebeest look sympathetic.

Only problem with Betty White is that she sounds too sweet no matter what.

Whoever plays Hillary needs to be a relentless, condescending, nasty, arrogant prick of a gal.

I’d love to see a movie about Hilary and Nancy Pelosi, as long as it is completely true and ends like Thelma and Louise.

A better choice would be “The Crypt Keeper”.

Put a blonde wig on Mike Myers ‘Dr.Evil’ and now we’re talkin’. Don’t forget one for the mini-she too.

I’d hold out for Gary Cooper or Randolph Scott, if they were making a movie about me.

The difference between Streep and Clinton is that the Defender of Benghazi is a very poor actress.

Jeanine Garafolo as Nanners Pealoozi. They look similar and both are loony toons equal.

I’m hoping Dwayne Johnson, aka “The Rock”, will agree to play me when they do my life story......Of course he’ll have to bulk up a little and grow out his hair.

I don’t care who plays them, as long as the factual ending has them driving off a cliff.

Too bad John Candy isn't around anymore. Eugene Levy could play Bill though.
