I’m very curious to know which projects she turned down to do this one. I hope she chose right lol. Very curious about that as well. I'm actually always curious about that. I'm still wondering which was the one she described as: "I didn't feel like I belonged in that home"?? That one has always intrigued me.

Yea, it also depends on how long each episode is. Some "hour long dramas" have episodes which range from 50 min to 1hr 15. Two of those featuring her as Betty Ford would more or less equal the length of a film. Maybe that's one of the reasons for her saying yes. It's not the hugest of time commitments as far as series television goes.

Looking forward to seeing the costumes and make up in this. No doubt the Costume Designer will be Susanne's collaborator Signe Sejlund.

If the focus is on Eleanor Roosevelt's years as FLOTUS, then Streep seems like a tad too old I think (Roosevelt was in her fifties during most of her term). I have a feeling she will be portrayed by one of the two usual suspects, but they're both already very busy.

Damn, that's some beehive hairdo. I am amazed at how much she resembles the original in this photo. Who knew?
Per IMDB, Michelle has two episodes as Betty. Same for Viola as Michelle O. She can shoot this in two - three weeks easily.

Yea, that woman had some serious 70s hair lol her 60 Minutes interview was the epitome of her big hair days lol www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CznzhafcEYShe was known for being frequently intoxicated through her time as First Lady, which she eventually was able to kick. I guess we'll see some scenes of Michelle trying to pretend she's not drunk.

I don't think IMDB have obviously added all the episode numbers yet. We don't yet how many episodes each of them will be in.

I have a feeling she will be portrayed by one of the two usual suspects, but they're both already very busy. I'm out of the loop. Who are the usual suspects? It'd sure be something if Streep does end up playing Roosevelt, considering she recently played someone who played Eleanor

This will be Michelle's 1st time working with a female director since I Could Never Be Your Woman.

I really hope they get Bening the more I think about it. Second choice, Streep, I guess

I don't think Kidman and Blanchett are right for Eleanor Roosevelt. Yeah, I agree that Roosevelt is probably more of a Benign/Streep kind of role. Maybe even Holly Hunter, Sigourney Weaver, or Frances McDormand. I hope it's Streep though, so just we can say that Pfeiffer and Streep are finally in the same project together (even if they don't have scenes together).

Ooooh, yea, McDormand would be an interesting choice...

http://instagram.com/p/CKImaL4BS9b Interestingly the Production Designer called out Viola, Michelle, Frances and Carey's performances 6 days ago just before Michelle was announced. McDormand would be great.

So who should play Gerald Ford? I doubt it would be a huge name actor since the screen time will be small.

Michael O’Keefe maybe? He’s a great character actor that might do a decent job with it

Looks like this will film before Ant Man. Wonder when we'll find out who will be Eleanor?

Maybe she WILL be able to get this done in March/April and head to the Ant-Man set by May

Do we think the TV project she didn't feel like she belonged to was Ryan Murphy's Ratched? The Sharon Stone part?
He no doubt went after her for a role like that and I can definitely see her turning her nose up at it.
Anyway, this seems to be moving along so quickly now. I'm so curious to hear who they get for Roosevelt.

That's something to wonder, definitely. I can for sure see her saying no to that.
