On the other hand, I’m sure they are filming the porn parody “Harriet Tub-Girl” in some house in the San Fernando Valley.
Trains? Are you talking about the Underground Railroad?
I am not saying Julia Roberts is practically a doppelgänger of Harriet Tubman, but on a tangent I always remember how Mark Twain satirized racism in Pudd’nhead Wilson by making it a plot point that the locals can’t tell which of the kids is white and which is black based on appearance.
I recall a biopic where the Carpenters are portrayed by Barbie & Ken dolls, with anorexic Karen’s surface shaved away till she was only a stick figure. I can envisage a Hollywood production where black Harriet has dark layers peeled off to reveal white Julia underneath. The Bleaching Of Miss Harriet Tubman by the Cohn Bros, FTW!
