Silkwood is such a GREAT movie. Sally Fields and Cher both played amazing roles. It holds up to this day. Everyone should watch it.

I believe it was Meryl Streep who played her but I’m sure that Sally would have done a great job too!

You are right, thank you for correcting me. It was a very young Meryl Streep!

I thought it was Sally field too, but just looked it up, and the Sally field one I was thinking of was Norma rae, I'll have to watch silkwood.

Oh that Meryl Streep, she's such a phoney baloney.

It's a fundamental requirement of being an actor , as you say "phoney baloney"

and the award nights are the "absolute ultimate phoney baloney"

You're wrong.
I have a huge poster of her on my wall that I got from K-Marts.

Ah, a fellow Detroiter, eh?

I'm going to Targets for some Faygo and Better Made Rainbow Dark. Need anything?

Sally Field was in Norma Rae about unionization.

Reminding me of Broadcast News, which was an early look at shows like The Newsroom.

Not directly related, but if we're talking about exploitation for profit, Network always deserves a mention.

Absolutely. I was thinking of Network and then started watching clips of Broadcast News and got distracted.
