10 Biopics Where The Subject Played Themselves Ranked, According To IMDb
While it's not that common, sometimes the lead characters in biopics are played by the real-life subject themselves, and some fare better than others.

#nowwatching #rewatch 1984's A Nightmare on Elm Street. This movie freaked me out when I saw it back in the mid 80s when I was around 9. I probably shouldn't have been watching it, but it was one of the films that really solidified my love of horror movies. #movies #horror #filmsky #moviesky

A STAR IS BORN premiered #OTD in 1954. Judy Garland was nominated for an Oscar, but lost to Grace Kelly for THE COUNTRY GIRL. "The biggest robbery since Brink’s," Groucho Marx called it. George Cukor's lavish musical is on Tubi 'til Sept 30 if you'd like to marvel at Judy (and James Mason's) work.

I enjoy a good biopic. Here are some biopics I have really enjoyed. Everyone has seen Ray (2004) and What's Love Got to Do With It (1993) so these are mostly good films you may not have seen yet. #FilmSky #BioPicsToSee

I agree. It's also inconceivable to me how cops murder unarmed Black people, and they get off scot free while their dead victims get vilified and mocked. White Supremacy is a bitch ain't it? Especially when you realize it doesn't discriminate, and your badge or skin color can't save you from it.

So, to recap: a mom became homeless, went to DFCS for housing aid, had her children taken away instead, and was then *billed* for their foster care—leaving her $13k in debt and making it harder to secure the very housing she needed to get them back. Hard to imagine a crueler, more perverse system.
