Elizabeth Banks on playing Laura Bush in ‘W’: It’s all about the hair!

The Dish Rag recently caught up with Elizabeth Banks, who plays first lady Laura Bush in Oliver Stone’s controversial new George W. Bush film, “W.”
DR: What’s the secret to playing a believable Republican first lady?
EB: “It’s all about the hair. Hair speaks volumes about every politician’s wife. And I think you’ll be impressed with my version of Laura Bush’s very Republican hair. I did meet Laura once, in 2003, long before I knew I’d be playing her.”
DR: What do you think about the film’s portrayal of the Bush family?
EB: “The film really presents both sides. People who like George Bush will find many things in the movie to like and people who don’t like George Bush will have their opinion validated as well. It’s a fairly fair portrayal.”
