Elizabeth Banks, who portrays Laura Bush to Josh Brolin’s George in the upcoming film “W,” considers the first lady an underrated beauty. “For some reason, I don’t think people appreciate just how beautiful a woman that she is,” said Banks, sitting pretty in a party room at Manhattan’s Gramercy Park Hotel, where Women’s Health magazine honored the 34-year-old actress’ October cover Monday night.
“I think it’s partially just because I think she needs a mini-makeover — but if she were wearing super stylish Phillip Lim dresses and had long, blond hair, I think you’d really be stunned by just how gorgeous a woman she is,” Banks said.
