Top ten candidates to play Mother Teresa in film
A movie director planning to make a film shot mostly overseas about the life of Mother Teresa already has a clear idea of who should play the saintly figure. Please choose from the following list the person you feel is most qualified and see if your artistic vision is up to snuff.
Top ten candidates to play Mother Teresa in film:
How'd you do?
If you really, really liked this -- or even really, really hated it -- there's lots more:
Top ten candidates to play Mother Teresa in film:
- Susan Sarandon -- without Tim Robbins of course.
- Madonna -- so they can make it an Evita-style musical ("Don't cry for me Calcutta")
- Jim Carrey -- it's the last barrier left to the rubber-faced comedian's total domination of world cinema.
- Dame Judi Dench -- because a role of this magnitude requires the kind of pomp and gravity that only a fancy English title can provide.
- Paris Hilton -- for the sex scenes.
- Angelina Jolie -- as a quid-pro-quo in an Indian baby adoption scheme.
- Rosie O'Donnell -- hey, if she could play Tevye's wife Golde...
- Aishwarya Rai -- because she's Indian, and beautiful, and so what if most Americans have never heard of her.
- Mel Gibson's wife -- because he wants to direct it, having all the dialog in the original language with no subtitles, and doesn't want a big-name star to obscure the humanity of the story.
- Julia Roberts -- as a "coming out of retirement" opportunity that should give the movie enough "Erin Brockovich" box office clout to justify its budget.
How'd you do?
