The First Lady on Starz Play shares the stories of three of America’s most memorable former first ladies across three different American epochs. The series illustrates how they met their husbands, the role they played as they climbed their ladder to power, and how, today, they are managing their status as first ladies beyond the White House. The performance of the lead actresses makes this series a true pleasure as you see them transform themselves into the iconic women they play and immerse themselves in the controversial times that they were experiencing. Gillian Anderson plays Eleanor Roosevelt, Michelle Pfeiffer plays Betty Ford, and Viola Davis takes on the role of Michelle Obama. Look for moving moments such as the arrival of the Obamas to the White House, or the determined Eleanor Roosevelt whose resilience and belief in her husband pushed him to become the legendary figure he is today despite battling polio. Observe how Betty Ford fought for women’s rights, despite the resistance from the White House and how she advocated for breast cancer awareness and support.
