After portraying the late politician in 2019's 'The Report,' Annette Bening exclusively tells EW that she was 'honored' to play Dianne Feinstein.
"From the moment Dianne Feinstein stepped in as mayor of San Francisco after the brutal murder of the previous mayor, George Moscone and her fellow Board Of Supervisor's member, Harvey Milk, by another supervisor, Dan White, Dianne proved herself to be a public official of absolute integrity and grit," Bening tells EW
through a representative. "Her legislation in banning assault weapons and her outing of the attempted coverup by the CIA of their clandestine torture program during the Iraq war were among her greatest achievements as a legislator. I was honored to play her."| Credit: Everett Collection; Bill Clark/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images
