    Lena Dunham Acknowledges 'White Privilege' As She's Criticized Over Her Poor Pitch for 'Girls'

    HBO

    The ‘Girls’ creator and actress admits ‘white privilege’ helped her career as she landed in hot water for selling her show with a page-and-a-half-long pitch, which she once described as terrible.
    Jul 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Lena Dunham has acknowledged that “white privilege” had a big hand in helping her find a foothold in Hollywood.
    The 34-year-old actress took to Twitter to respond after discovering she was trending on the social media site due to a tweet from The Hollywood Reporter which read, “@LenaDunham was 23 when she sold #Girls to HBO with a page-and-a-half-long pitch, without a character nor a plot.”
    The tweet was then retweeted by numerous BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour) filmmakers and actors, who compared their own experiences in the industry to Lena’s, with the “Girls” star quick to respond to the flurry of tweets mentioning her Twitter handle.
    “Whenever I find out I’m trending, I have to immediately check if I’m alive!” she began. “Then, I try and see if there’s a constructive dialogue to have on Twitter. Often there isn’t, but today there really WAS. It actually wasn’t a dialogue – it was just me agreeing that the Hollywood system is rigged in favour of white people and that my career took off at a young age with relative ease, ease I wasn’t able to recognise because I also didn’t know what privilege was.”
    “The past 10 years have been a series of lessons. The lesson now? Sit down. Shut up, unless it’s to advocate for change for Black people. Listen. Make art in private for a while- no one needs your book right now lady. Give reparations widely. Defund the police. Rinse & repeat.”
    The topic of racial inequality has been widely discussed in recent weeks following the death of George Floyd at the hands of police officers, which sparked Black Lives Matter protests around the world.

    Gabrielle Union Endorses Call for Black Female-Focused Sequel to 'A League of Their Own'

    Instagram

    Matthew A. Cherry, who won an Oscar for ‘Hair Love’, suggests a follow-up to the 1992 film should pick up from the point where a black woman impressed Geena Davis’ character with her throw.
    Jun 30, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Gabrielle Union is calling for a sequel to “A League of Their Own”, chronicling the rise of the three female black stars of post-war baseball.
    Sportsman-turned-filmmaker Matthew A. Cherry, who picked up an Oscar earlier this year for his short “Hair Love”, has suggested the sequel should pick up at the point in the 1992 film when a black woman in the crowd at a game throws the ball, impressing Geena Davis’ character, who was playing in the first female professional baseball league.
    In a 2018 tweet Union has shared, Cherry wrote: “Imagine A League Of Their Own sequel that starts with the scene of the black woman throwing the ball back from the stands and you stay with her and it becomes a biopic on (Toni Stone, Mamie Johnson & Connie Morgan).”
    “Can we make this please?” the actress tweeted. “Asking for a bunch of us.”

    Gabrielle Union loves an idea of black female-centered ‘A League of Their Own’ sequel.
    Stone, Johnson, and Morgan played professional baseball in the 1940s and 1950s.
