“I remember, shortly before she died, having dinner with Nora Ephron, and she said, ‘Politics is about casting,’ ” Huffington recalls to Jordan Roth in new online monthly, Warmly Jordan. “Literally, she was going around asking who Democrats should nominate, who Democrats should cast . . . she thought Democrats should cast Tom Hanks.”
Ephron died in 2012 — but Huffington still endorses the idea: “I think he would be fantastic, because you’re not casting an empty shell, you see?”
Michael Moore has also supported the idea, but Hanks himself has said: “Just because I’m an actor, I can give a good speech, I agree with that. But the concept of actually voting for someone just because they can do that?”
