Here’s a first look at the unlikely casting but uncanny resemblance of Jane Fonda as former First Lady Nancy Reagan. Alan Rickman plays President Ronald Reagan in The Butler, currently filming in New Orleans. Fonda reportedly appears in just a few scenes. The pic stars Forest Whitaker as White House butler Eugene Allen whose career spanned 34 years there. Director Lee Daniels adapted the screenplay with Danny Strong from a Washington Post article.

What a HUGE Insult to a great lady.
What a monumental disgrace to a fine person like Nancy Reagan.
Speaking of which, would you rather have Terry Sweeney play the role en travesti, as he did on Saturday Night Live?
This is a travesty.
Sorry, Jane! Not enough wrinkles on you or whaziz name. Go ride your North Vietnam army tank.
My Bad. Spelling error in previous comment. Should have read:
To paraphrase Bela Lugosi, as played by Martin Landau in the Ed Wood movie, when Lugosi spoke about Boris Karloff, “Jane Fonda doesn’t have the talent to smell Nancy Reagan’s sh$t”.

…might as well have Will Smith play Nancy Pelosi, they are completely interchangable, right?
Fabulous. Double LOL.
I’m sure this won’t be yet another liberal hatchet job.
Using “Hanoi” Jane Fonda to play the part of Nancy Reagan is just plain wrong. Enough said.
Bathos is abitter form of sarcasm!! Having Fonda ,a Marxist playing the role of a Patriot first lady isthe ultimate form of bathos!!!
Jane Fonda is not even worthy to lick Nancy Reagan’s shoes.
This is one Viet Nam vet that will not watch this movie with the American traitor Hanoi Jane.
This is a slap in the face of Ronald Reagan, America and freedom.
Fonda remains the worst example of liberal Hollywood. Her pictures from North Vietnam remain etched in every VN Vet’s mind. The White House under the leadership of President Reagan was a time of national pride. Mrs. Reagan added silent dignity to the White House. Fonda’s legacy will always be publicity before substance and ability; an inherent hatred of America and the US Military.
Didn’t like what I said? How fair of you.
Having jane fonda representing any American is a disgrace, but especially an honorable woman like Nancy Reagan!! The studio should be ashamed of themselves to hire a traitor to America play a Presidential wife.
‘Uncanny resemblance’? I thought it was Andrea Mitchell and Alec Baldwin.
What a disgrace! Hanoy Jane playing the First Lady Nancy Reagan??? How could anyone with a brain cast a known communist as Nancy Reagan? Just plain STUPID!!!
The Left just can’t stop themselves. They have to constantly find ways to undermine, insult and mock America. The Reagans were civil, respectful and patriotic. Fonda is the bad seed from which the crass and crude Obama administration and their fanatical disciples rose from. This was not just inappropriate, it is insulting.
Liberals impersonating conservatives—Won’t be paying to see this.
Jane fonda plays Nancy Reagan. Next, Charlie Sheen plays the Pope.
Bad choice of actor. A woman with her track record playing Nancy? Hollywood is loosing market share with the rash of bad decisions in movie making. This dosn’t help.
Save the money………let me put it to you this way Hollywood, Ms. Fonda could not pay me enough to watch this. A Suuuwing and a miss! Thanks again but no thanks.
I don’t care if she portrays my mother, I wouldn’t pay a nickel to go see Hanoi Hannah. I don’t allow any of her movies to play on TV at home. The same goes for Robert Redford. Da Nang 1965
I agree with you completely! Wouldn’t waste my money on her!!
Why are you using a traitor to represent a great woman?
because most of Hollywood is run and inhabited by Marxists.
This is hollywoods oportunity to trash a great woman and make her (and her husband) look like something they were not. This liberal nut would never in a million years take the roll of a conservative unless it meant making poeple believe falsehoods.
What an insult to all Americans. This treasonous bitch never served in prison as she should have. Never buy a ticket here.
This is Hollywood’s way of giving Republicans the finger.
Doesn’t anyone see just how WRONG this is?
If she had EVER apologized, something along the lines of “I was young, I was foolish, I was idealistic”, maybe. But she didn’t. She’s a traitor and should have been jailed. I wish someone had the balls to prosecute her NOW.
So, the answer is, I don’t give my enemies (such as uber liberals Tom Hanks, Ellen “Barkin like a dog”, Alec Baldwin, Eva Longoria, Beyonce, Sarah Jessica “the camel” Parker, etc.) any chance to make money off my viewership.
I was in South Viet Nam while Jane was in the north. I was not pleased. I guarantee that I will see nothing that has anything to do with her.
Since when did the definition of “uncanny” become “not at all like”
What a shame to use an American traitor to play the wife of, possibly, America’s best president. The lady isn’t a patriot and showed that in 1973 with the north vietnamese. Looks like Ms. Fonda with a lot of make up.
RR was easily the worst president ever. Jane Fonda is doing the family an honor by portraying NR.
Thank you I was thinking the same thing. She looks like Jane Fonda in a wig, which is exactly who she is.
Also, I’m not really one for politics, I know that JF sets some people off and I understand why, but I can get over it. However, I can’t help thinking that casting her as NR is intentionally insulting. It reeks of stunt casting.
If I were Nancy I would sue her for defamation of character.
What a disgrace! Those of us who remember what a traitor Jane Fonda was to this country are offended by her playing a great American like Nancy Reagan. I wouldn’t go to this movie if you paid me!
I will never forgive her, never or her commie husband Tom Hayden. I wouldn’t waste my time or money on her because aside from being a traitor, this movie is degrading to the Reagans period.
Why she was never thrown in jail and still even living in this great country that she so hates is mind boggling.
She walked free while our brave folks were punished times 2 because of her uncaring attitude. She is the most despicable unAmerican that I think I could name. The only reason I read this article about her was so I could add my comment. I will very interested though to see who will go see this movie or anything else she does.
She was somewhat of a foolish young woman at the time. She regrets. Get over it.
Rashid,
NO! You don’t get over what she did. She got our troops killed with her liberal stupidity and the only reason she apologized was to sell movies. She has not shown remorse. How do you tell the families of the dead to get over it? How do you tell the Americans who these guys fought for to get over it? You don’t get over a person like her. There are consequences for your actions.
What foolish young woman? He was 30 years old when she plopped her fanny on that anti-aircraft gun and later sold out our brave prisoners of war. She was a traitor then and remains so now. Liberal Hollywood crap is still crap.
Nice try rashid. She gave aid and comfort to the enemy during wartime. Just a wild guess but I’ll bet your father wasn’t one of the soldiers being tortured in a bamboo cage when Hanoi Jane was being “somewhat of a foolish young woman”. Nice try though. Idiot!
Hanoi Jane was well into her 30′s when she was photographed on a NVA antiaircraft weapon simulating shooting down American Aircraft’. She and her H-wood ilk are worthless commie traitors.
Yes, Rashid, you are correct. Jane really, really REGRETS going over to Hanoi and posing on tanks with the North Vietnamese communist soldiers while our troops were either in harm’s way of battle or in N. Vietnamese prison camps – NOT. She is sorry it has affected her career and haunted her all of these years, but she had a political point to make. What you are seeing in this thread is the result of the reaction people who were either soldiers in that war or had loved ones in that war – this is the reaction they still have to her. Jane OWNS this reaction, so please don’t take it away from her. She owns every single bad response she ever gets.
She NEVER said she was sorry. I would forgive Tokyo Rose before I would forgive this left wing creep. She was also married to Tom Hayden of the Chicago 7. Hanoi Jane is not fit to kiss the boots of Ronald Reagan, let alone be his wife
Rashid: There are some things that cannot, will not, be forgiven.
Perhaps if she had even hinted at regretting her actions, made some sort of apology, we might consider excusing (not forgiving) her behavior.
She’s right up there with Quisling.
And now she’s a foolish old woman.
I couldn’t agree more. There’s nothing about Hanoi Jane that interests me.
She’s a traitor and you can’t make anything else out of it.
As a Vietnam veteran, watching this show will never happen. Bet I speak for most Vietnam veterans if not all.
I know you’re speaking for vietnam veterans, let me speak for families of vietnam veterans. This traitorous women couldn’t PAY me enough to watch this or anything else she has done.
Don’t forget Vietnam Veterans families too.
Semper Fi, Patrick. I stand with you, shoulder to shoulder.
