Mrs. Doubtfire was fun, and Williams' performance was excellent. But casting a man to play a real person who is a woman? Especially if she's middle-aged, rather plain, and serious about her work? That's a slap in the face.
Sez the middle-aged, rather plain woman who is serious about her work.

“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

Prim, I agree. Particularly a real person who has shown herself to be rather fragile (I don't mean that as a criticism; I'm sure I would be just as fragile thrust into the same kind of situation that she was in.)
On a brighter note, they mentioned in her appearance on that America's Got Talent show in which sang Wild Horses that her album is coming out in November (appropriately entitled "I Dreamed a Dream"). That is worth looking forward to.
