Diane Lane. Isn’t the striking resemblance to Hillary immediately apparent?
“NBC has scrapped its controversial Hillary Clinton miniseries project,” the Hollywood Reporter, err, reports:

ANALYSIS: Who Loses Most in NBC’s Hillary Clinton Nightmare
The news comes hours after CNN Films opted to cancel its planned documentary on the former Secretary of State and First Lady after pressure from both Democrats and Republicans.
NBC announced in July that it was developing a four-hour miniseries based on Clinton starring Diane Lane, with plans to air the effort before Clinton was likely to announce her candidacy for president.
I dunno, I was kind of looking forward to the science fiction value of seeing the perpetually pantsuited former first lady portrayed by the eminently sexy and completely miscast Diane Lane.
Any chance of Hollywood dusting off the proposed Annette Benning as Helen Thomas project from 2008 to make amends?
