Hollywood is making a movie about Eugene Allen, the White House butler who served from 1952 (under Harry Truman) to 1986 (Ronald Reagan). The all star cast being assembled reportedly includes Liam Neeson as Lyndon Johnson, and John Cusack as Richard Nixon, Forest Whitaker as Allen and Oprah Winfrey as his wife. But the best part is the choice of Jane Fonda to play Nancy Reagan. Seriously. Will she get to say the line “I’m just here for the drugs“?
