Oscar Winner Halle Berry and 6 Time Nominee Glenn Close Forced to Be in A TV Series with Kim Kardashian

Share

How far have we fallen in our culture?

This far:

Oscar winner Halle Berry, and six time Oscar nominee Glenn Close — who’s also a Tony and Emmy winner — are forced to co-star in a series with Kim Kardashian.

There should be legislation against this.

The show is called “All’s Fair” but all is certainly not fair if the only way Ryan Murphy could get a series on Hulu was to have it star this self-aggrandizing novelty celebrity. Kardashian is also executive producer with Murphy.

Close and Berry playing second fiddle to the ex wife of Kanye West (and others) is simply horrifying — for them, not for us. We can choose not to watch this drama about an all-female Los Angeles law firm on Hulu. But the real actresses have to wonder where their own careers are at.

Kardashian has appeared in other series for creator Ryan Murphy. She also starred in a famous sex tape. A few years ago she declared she would become a lawyer without going to law school. For years she and her horrid family have starred in a reality show about their tabloid headline family.

Kardashian is 43 years old, and famous not for thespian skills but notoriety. There’s a long list of accomplished actresses the same ago who would make “All’s Fair” a classy show. The Screen Actors Guild should intervene.
