Hollywood gravely concerned..
Paramount Pictures is worried that Meryl Streep's edgy, chilling performance as a U.S. Senator in The Manchurian Candidate, which opens at the end of next month, is too close to the real Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, a pal inside the studio tells me.
As a result, studio honchos have asked director Jonathan Demme to make little recuts and trims here and there to remove some of the more Hillaryesque gestures and expressions in the flick.
I find all that concern hillarious and another perfect example of the elitist patronizing atitude that the motoring public is so gullible they can be swayed against a real person by a fictional portrayal.
Now, if it were a docu-drama showing Hillary as evil or perhaps a moron, they might have a point.
