Gillian Anderson cast as Eleanor Roosevelt on ‘The First Lady’
    2021-02-24  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

Showtime has rounded out its main trio of First Ladies for the upcoming anthology series.

After playing Margaret Thatcher on Netflix’s “The Crown” season 4, Gillian Andersonwill now portray First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of 32nd United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt, on “The First Lady.” This begs the question: Will we now be getting “hot Roosevelt” memes after Thatcher’s Internet love?

“Gillian Anderson is an actress of incredible range and exquisite talent — she is the perfect choice to complete this powerhouse trio, who will inhabit the roles of these iconic women,” said Amy Israel, executive vice president of scripted programming at Showtime Networks Inc.

Roosevelt was the longest-serving First Lady in U.S. history, having held the role from 1933 to 1945. She was at times considered a controversial figure for her outspokenness on civil rights. She was also the first presidential spouse to hold regular press conferences, write a daily newspaper column, and host a weekly radio show.

Anderson received a Golden Globe nomination for her performance as Thatcher, opposite Olivia Colman’s Queen Elizabeth II, on “The Crown.” Though, the actress previously won the statuette for her iconic sci-fi performance as Agent Dana Scully on “The X-Files.”

Susanne Bier, who directed the four-time Golden Globe-nominated “The Undoing,” will direct all episodes of season 1.
