    As someone who recently went through a miscarriage at the end of April, and kept it a secret from as many people as possible, I can’t imagine someone faking it for attention because it’s quite cruel. Having said that, people are awful and would do it for attention…

      I am so sorry for your loss. It is a very, very terrible thing to experience.

      I’m so sorry for your loss.

      And as I think I posted in another article a couple of weeks back, a woman I know claims she had two miscarriages. She was taking those super-early pregnancy tests and saw a hormone spike that can indicate pregnancy but still got her period at the normal time.

      Having known women who have gone through actual miscarriages, that she claims miscarriages still infuriates me.

  2. Incredulous says:

    That guy (Guy) in the period story is a cretin and their HR is odious.

    More RBG please! I mean, she did perform in an opera, right? Adore her.

    • Amide says:

      ❤ RBG & ❤ Portman. She would have done it far more justice than the insipid Jones. Portman was great in Jackie and deserved all the accolades.

  4. perplexed says:

    Did they say why Portman was replaced?

    • SNAP says:

      Probably bcs her only facial expressions are painful constipation cry and miralax relief bitch face. I really like Felicity, i’d watch any movie she plays in. I think she is really underrated just as many other actresses with more range than Portman. I actively avoid her work…i get second hand constipation.

      • Here or There says:

        THANK YOU! ITA!

      • teacakes says:

        @SNAP – Thanks for the tea up my nose, lol. Portman isn’t nearly as good an actress as some people think she is, she realky did peak with Leon.

        And Jackie is vastly overrated – Pablo Larrain has made much better films before, without Oscar baiting (No is great).

      • minx says:

        lol, perfect.

      • Stacey Dresden says:

        I’ve always thought the same, but I did really appreciate her work in Black Swan.

      • islandwalker says:

        Agree 1000%.

      • G says:

        + 1,000,000
        I agree with every single word. Felicity is lovely, talented, and so very, very underrated. Portman, on the other hand…

      • crazydaisy says:

        hahaha Agree! Natalie Portman is a TERRIBLE actress. Right down there with Julia Roberts. Why these people become “it” is beyond me.

    • Mia4s says:

      They didn’t, so it’s possible she dropped out. It’s super common for actors to be “attached” to a project and then drop out before actually signing on. SUPER common. However I had thought this was a passion project for Portman so it is surprising. I’m just glad it’s being made!

      • perplexed says:

        I vaguely remember her talking about it in advance on some talk show. I guess that’s why I’m surprised she’s no longer in, even though it’s common for actors to drop out.

      • tracking says:

        There was a recent blind about an actress who had a baby in the last year and found herself not wanting to work right now. Many guessed Portman.

  5. Parigo says:

    I find Felicity Jones a bit underwhelming. Not into this casting.

    • Amide says:

      Same here. Jones is meh on screen.😞
      Portman can be transcendent. Loved her in performances, from Leon to Jackie. Would have been interested in her RBG take , now no curr

    • LA Elle says:

      Same. I’m not a huge fan of either actress.

      I know she’s more known for her comedy, but I would kind of love a brunette Ari Graynor in the role. She’s an underrated talented but has that take no prisoners attitude that would work well for RBG. She doesn’t look like Ruth, but she has that sort of unusual beauty that Ruth had as a young woman.

      So that’s my totally off-the-wall fantasy casting.

    • tracking says:

      Not into this casting either. And I care about this one. Ugh.

  6. teacakes says:

    I like Felicity but I wonder how she’s going to do with an American accent. It’s not like Natalie Portman is the greatest of actresses either, so unless the script is effed up, it should be ok if not prime Oscar bait.

  7. WingKingdom says:

    Tara Ried is wearing a wig that is… not very expensive. Other than that she looks okay.

  8. CynicalAnn says:

    They couldn’t find anyone else to play RBG? Really? I can’t stand Portman-she’s totally overrated, and Felicity Jones seems so blah in everything I’ve seen her in.

  9. Maria says:

    First time I saw Felicity Jones, I thought she looked like actresses in the 70s like a Susan George mixed with Brit Eckland. She needs to be blonde, she’s stunning blonde. Though I know RBG is not blonde, just saying for future movies that have no hair color requirement.
