Abigail Breslin Casting as Helen Keller Leads to Outcry

Rowena Li — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 04:42:45 +0000

The 50th anniversary Broadway revival of “The Miracle Worker,” the story of Helen Keller and her teacher Annie Sullivan, will star Abigail Breslin in the role of Keller, Entertainment Weekly reports.

Breslin, who was nominated for a Oscar for her role as Olive Hoover in “Little Miss Sunshine,” will be co-starring with Tony Award nominee Alison Pill, who will play Sullivan. The original play had Patty Duke and Anne Bancroft in the main roles.

Since the announcement of the casting, however, controversy has arisen as deaf and blind actors have criticized the choice, reports MSN.

The Alliance for Inclusion in the Arts is advocating that Breslin be replaced by an actress who is genuinely deaf and blind so as to make the performance more believable. So far representatives for the show have only said that such an actress may be cast as Breslin’s understudy.

Despite the controversy, most tweeps are supporting Breslin’s casting:

molsongrrrl Wait, so Abigail Breslin shouldn’t play Helen Keller because she isn’t blind and/or deaf? I thought that’s why it’s called acting!

BrennyOh @andersonjohnhei I just found out Abigail Breslin will play Helen Keller in the Miracle Worker on Broadway…good choice huh?

pizzafruit I totally want to see Abigail Breslin as Helen Keller on Broadway

Italiasordo Why are they complaining about Abigail Breslin to play Helen Keller in Broadway? Her stardom will generate ticket sales.

thejasongray People need to relax,who cares if Abigail Breslin plays Helen Keller, did anyone think she got the part because SHE’S THE BEST FOR THE ROLE?

SparklesDaCat Oh seriously you ‘advocates’…leave Abigail Breslin alone! No one ever bitched about Patty Duke playing Helen Keller!

annielftw why in the world was abigail breslin cast to play helen keller?

FilmBuzz We hear that Abigail Breslin has been cast as Helen Keller in an upcoming film. Nice role, Abigail!

The show is set to open at the Circle in the Square Theater in March of next year.

MTV Movie Awards Preview

Shari Weiss — Sun, 31 May 2009 06:16:45 +0000

With all the promotion MTV has been doing for Sunday’s Movie Awards, it seems there’s a lot to look forward to. From host Andy Samberg to the A-list presenters and wacky categories, MTV has promised a lot. Now it’s time to see if they’ll deliver.

A slew of celebrities are scheduled to appear, including Shia LaBeouf, Channing Tatum, Bradley Cooper, Abigail Breslin, Denzel Washington, Cameron Diaz, Ryan Reynolds, Will Ferrell, Vanessa Hudgens, Leighton Meester, Jonah Hill and Lil Wayne. Eminem and Kings of Leon are among the performers.

Movie fans should also gear up for three big sneak-peeks: “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” and “New Moon” from the Twilight saga, which will be presented by “Twilight” stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

Many have tweeted that they’ll be tuning in specifically to see the exclusive clips:
