Glenn Close While she may not be a diva, she is still totally awesome.

Ruth Buzzi and Bea Arthur are both great choices for DiFi but if they're looking for someone who really understands what "Diva" really means, I pick Babs Streisand. There needs to be a scene where mayor Babs is given the news before she makes her famous public speech. Her response something like, "Oy Vey- me the Mayor? I've got already a rich husband. So why is God punishing me..." I'd love to see her in the typical frumpy dress with pearls Feinstein look. She'd need a lacquered "Ann Miller" wig. Have the real DiFi play a short cameo role, something nutty like Dan White's mother... Buzzi would be better playing another BOS member at the time, Carol Ruth Silver. She was very close to Milk.

the dianne suggestions are all wonderful, but i think they need to go with someone much younger. she was in her 40s in '78. ...although, yes, ruth buzzi is timeless.

usually IMDB has projects listed as pre-production for actors when they're in concept/rumor stages. neither sean nor matt have any mention of this.

I think Suzanne Pleshette would make a great Dianne Feinstein.

Applause for Cement Brunette. Overall, this casting makes me very happy. Too bad Tyne Daly's too old for the Feinstein part.

Who will play Gorge Moscone? How about George Clooney? Matt Damon and George Clooney were BOTH fabulous in "Syriana".... Marc Chamot
