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

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.”

I vote for Divine to play h klintoon. Too bad Divine is dead,
Actually Meryl HAS played Hillary at least twice - in The Manchurian Candidate and in The Devil Wears Prada.
When they ‘hit’ the lotto they became the ‘Beverly Hillbillys’ without the class and stylish people.’
****************************
I think “hitting the lotto” for the Clintoons was when Bill, the sexual predator/pervert got elected Prez with the First Enabler at his side. The Arkansas HillBillies went to DC - no class and still don’t have any.
She's certainly liberal enough.
What a role: An idiot playing an idiot. Will the movie tell us about Whitewater, Cattle Futures or Vince Foster?
Jamie Farr as Hillary... funny
BINGO
she’s already thinking about a movie since her book is breaking all sales records /S
First of all, we need to find out if Ms. Streep has cankels!
