Let's Have A Little Veracity...

The real Amelia Earhart

In Night at the Musuem, starring Ben Stiller (a movie I enjoyed, by the way), Robin Williams played Teddy Roosevelt...and he was made up to look like Teddy Roosevelt.

Now we're gettign Night at the Museum 2, and Amelia Earhart (or at least, a model figure of her) is apparently going to come to life.

And this figure looks nothing like Earhart. Too many curves! And quite pretty. (Actually, I wonder if it is supposed to be Earhart. Because Earhart never wore a jacket like that, either. Hers was long and covered her rear end... hmm... just another artistic license? Musn't cover a woman's best feature, eh?????)



And I'm torn. On the one hand, Amelia Earhart was quite slender, and in some ways matches the skeletal look that women today are supposed to look like. (I have no doubt she didn't have an eating disorder, she was just naturally slender). On the other hand, this actress, Amy Adams, is all curves - which at least gives a healthy body image for viewers to see.

But the face.... it's just not Amelia. Even Diane Keaton looked more like Earhart than this woman does.

Here's Hilary Swank as Earhart in the upcoming movie.
