Showtime\u2019s new series The First Lady has quite the buzz around it, not just because of the A-list cast, but because of the story it\u2019s telling.<\/p>\n

The series takes the form of an anthology, to tell stories about the White House through different US presidencies, all through the perspective of the respective First Ladies.<\/p>\n

With Viola Davis playing Michelle Obama, Michelle Pfeiffer playing Betty Ford and Gillian Anderson playing Eleanor Roosevelt, with O-T Fagbenle, Aaron Eckhart and Kiefer Sutherland as their respective husbands, it\u2019s quite the starry affair.<\/p>\n
