Mrs. America is a 9-part fake docudrama about Phyllis Schlafly which is scheduled to air on television on the subscriber Hulu network and on the FX network starting April 15, 2020. It was filmed in Toronto the second half of 2019, starring Cate Blanchett as Phyllis Schlafly.
It is fake news, Hollywood-style. Its false theme is that Phyllis was trying to succeed in a man's world and did not realize how it was discriminating against her too. Cate Blanchett portrays Phyllis as powerful but cold and condescending, unlike the real Phyllis.
While pretending to be factual, the script has a role for entirely fictional character named "Alice", portrayed as a (non-existent) best friend of Phyllis.[1] The role of Alice is to recite false statements designed to improperly create an impression that Phyllis said or agreed with the falsehoods, when she did not.
The miniseries oddly portrays Phyllis as wearing only a wedding band, rather than also wearing an engagement ring as Phyllis always wore and most traditional women have.
Hollywood's fake news also creates an imaginary "Pamela", who is supposedly a young, naive housewife who was an early supporter of Phyllis Schlafly's STOP ERA effort.
Fictional interaction between the characters portraying Phyllis and her husband Fred falsely disparages him.
Ironically, despite the fauxumentary being intended to demonize Phyllis Schlafly as propaganda for the pro-ERA crowd, many leftists upon seeing the trailer and her speeches supplied in the trailer came out as agreeing with Phyllis Schlafly regarding why the ERA should not be passed.[2]
