Helen Mirren has admitted that she “can see” why some people are uncomfortable with “Jewface” following backlash to her forthcoming portrayal of Golda Meir.
The British actor will portray the former prime minister of Israel in Golda, a new biopic from director Guy Nattiv. When Mirren’s casting was announced, however, it was met with criticism that a Jewish historical figure was being played by a non-Jewish actor.
