The premiere of the series "The First Lady" was held in Los Angeles, and it will start airing on the American television network Showtime on April 17. In the drama series by Aaron Cooley, a number of famous actresses will appear in the roles of former American first ladies.
For example, Viola Davis will play Michelle Obama, Gillian Anderson will play Eleanor Roosevelt, and Michelle Pfeiffer will play Betty Ford. All three ladies appeared at the premiere, and the most attention was drawn to Michelle, who rarely appears in public.
In a recent interview, she admitted that she signed a contract to shoot this series even before she read the script.
“When director Susanne Bier, who I really wanted to work with, called me and told me she was working on a project and wanted me to play Betty Ford, I just told her she can count on me. Like most people, I knew about Betty Ford because of the eponymous clinic that saved the lives of thousands of people. I also knew about her addiction problems.”
“All in all, it’s one interesting story I wanted to tell and I felt it mattered. Betty was popular for her honesty, she was open and transparent about her struggle. She was not afraid of topics that were taboo at the time,” Michelle said.
The famous 63-year-old came to the premiere in an elegant black suit. She combined it with a silk shirt in the same color and fishnet loungewear. She complemented her edition with gold jewelry, an effective statement chain, and dangling earrings that fit perfectly into the black clothing combination.
"That's how real divas do it," is one of the comments of social media users who praised her decent and elegant edition.
"The First Lady" is a new TV series that shows the life of former first ladies. From Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (Jackie O) to Eleanor Roosevelt, the first ladies left a mark almost as big as their spouses.
The first season of the series will tell the story of three presidential women - Eleanor Roosevelt, Betty Ford, and Michelle Obama - focusing on their roles, as well as the changes that have taken place in the world during their stay at the White House.
