Julia Roberts is known for playing several iconic roles throughout her career: Vivian in Pretty Woman, Erin Brockovich in Erin Brockovich, Elizabeth Gilbert in Eat Pray Love. Whether she’s portraying a sex worker or a middle-class woman on her own version of a gap year, Roberts is used to playing strong, scrappy women often fighting for a purpose. Another thing her characters all have in common? They’re white women. Just like Roberts.
This exec’s comments also beg the question: WTF were the movie execs going to do if they sent Roberts in as is? Re-imagine Tubman as a white woman? They weren’t even going to attempt to darken her skin? I don’t know what’s worse: using an excessive amount of bronzer à la Angelina Jolie as Marianne Pearl in A Mighty Heart, or just erasing Tubman’s identity as a Black woman all together. For the record, there is no worse, it’s *all* bad.But honestly, we shouldn’t be surprised.
