This Lady Works in Every Administration

I was watching one my favorite movies, "Dave", today and noticed this lady:


And I was thinking to myself, "God Damn! Is that lady in every movie about the white house?"

So I looked her up on IMDB, and she is!

She was in "The American President", "The Manchurian Candidate", and was a recurring character on "The West Wing".

I know Hollywood loves to pigeon hole people, but jeez, this seems awfully specific. She must sit around her house praying someone is writing the next President movie.

I guess she exudes authority. When a white President is in office, he needs an older black lady to tell him what is what. But the same doesn't go for a black President, because Chris Rock egregiously kept her out of "Head of State'.
