Julianne Moore was sent to portray Hillary Clinton in HBO's 'The Special Relationship,' before dropping out due to scheduling conflicts with 'The Kids Are All Right.'The role eventually went to Hope Davis, who played the former first lady opposite Dennis Quaid's Bill Clinton, but not before Moore completed a makeup test for the film, according to BlackBook.com.
Incidentally, Moore will play Sarah Palin in HBO's upcoming 'Game Change.'
Look below for a side-by-side comparison of the Oscar nominee and the Secretary of State.

Are you fricking kidding me. Not even a resemblance. I always thought if they did a movie on her, Rebecca DeMornay would be absolutely perfect. Now! There's a twin for you! Who's with me?!

I agree. Always thought the same thing. Rebecca DeMornay indeed.
but I do think Julianne Moore nailed it too. It's just that they put her Hillary the *early years* pic next to Hillary today.
Now that' ain't right! LOL.
Rebecca DeMornay yep yep yep!!!
I agree. I have always thought that Rebecca DeMournay was the spitting image of Hillary. Of course they would have to do a screen test to see if Rebecca can bobble her head like Hillary.
I'm with you! I totally agree they look alike and always have. They should pick Rebecca De Mornay to play Hillary.
Hillary got lucky with this one. Could've been Joy Behar.

She can play Hillary Clinton and Half Governor Sarah Palin. Now, that's a talented, versatile actress. (She should have won the Best Actress Oscar for "Far From Heaven" in 2002.)

I think maybe Jay Mohr should play Hilary Clinton. Perfect resemblance.

She looks more like Gloria Allred.

Question: Why would anyone make a movie about Hillary? Second Question: Why would anyone go see a movie about Hillary?

...because she has a great history...you obviously don't know anything about her....she has been in the front lines for healthcare for years .She is extreemly intelligent and her bio of her life takes her to the white house...no quitter here....
...and really ,those who criticize her looks and the way she dresses....she doesn't need to be beautiful....she's intelligent and has everything else going for her....and look where she is ...no quitter here.....as for Palin....she is a nobody that got where she is because of her looks...and would get about 10 percent of republican vote,now...lolololo....if hillary would run for president ...she would win....

Excuse me. Hilary DID run for president. Which rock were you under in 2008? And I'd much rather have her than what we've got.
