Well, this has to be an epic case of art imitating life. It turns out that the US presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, and the TV show about a female president, Veep (starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus as President Selina Meyer), share one common thing.
Their makeup artist Barbara Lacy. Yes, let that sink in; Lacey, who makes the cast of Veep look president-worthy, is the very same person who makes Hillary Clinton look, well, president-worthy too.
Veep is a political satire, in which Louis-Dreyfus hilariously portrays an ambitious and foul-mouthed vice-president, who (sorry for the spoiler) becomes president at the end of season 3.
Hillary Clinton, the former US Secretary of State, attorney, former First Lady and current absolute legend, has just announced her bid for the 2016 presidency. She’s used Veep’s makeup artist, Barbara Lacy, for over 10 years.
At the Veep season 4 premiere party last week, Allure reported that Louis-Dreyfus said, “Can you believe that we have Hillary Clinton's makeup artist? And now Hillary is apparently announcing soon. So, yeah, I'm confident that we will lose her."
