Jewfacing: Helen Mirren plays a Jew. Is this a problem? – Culture

from

Helen Mirren is 76 years old and she has fought against casting pigeonholes for a career. She played a gangster chick in The Long Good Friday. A housewife in “Calendar Girls”. A murderous mother in “Gosford Park”. And, Oscar-winning: the Queen in “The Queen”. She will have been jubilant when she was offered the lead role in Guy Nattiv’s Golda Meir biopic Golda. Only one photo of her from the film has been circulating so far, but judging by that, she’s once again managed not to bear the slightest resemblance to herself. And suddenly, Helen Mirren, champion of equality of all kinds, has landed at the center of a discussion going by the keyword Jewfacing.
