Here's What the Bombshell Cast Look Like Next to Their Real-Life Counterparts

The Big Little Lies star plays Gretchen Carlson, who was among the first to publicise Roger Ailes's sexual harassment. The former Fox News host sued the network's former chairman in 2016, but hasn't been able to speak out herself since because of her settlement with Ailes. "It's a strange and frustrating reality that I can't partake in any of these projects based on my settlement, which is why I'm working so hard on Capitol Hill so that nobody else has to be handcuffed anymore," she told Entertainment Weekly. Nevertheless, her story is out there thanks to Naomi Watts's portrayal of her in the Showtime series The Loudest Voice, and now with Kidman's role in Bombshell.

Megyn Kelly has said she "could do worse" regarding Theron's casting, who will show how the Fox News figure factored into the Roger Ailes scandal.

Late Night's John Lithgow dons major prosthetics to portray the late, disgraced Roger Ailes. The villainous chairman of the network died in 2017.

Legally Blonde alum Alanna Ubach is stepping into the shoes of conservative TV figure Jeanine Pirro, who is currently the host of Fox News Channel's Justice With Judge Jeanine.

Alice Eve (Black Mirror, She's Out of My League) hasn't made an appearance in the Bombshell trailer yet, but it seems like she'll be a good physical match to play Fox News television personality and author Ainsley Earhardt, who's the cohost of Fox & Friends.

Ailes's wife Beth was played by Sienna Miller (in heavy prosthetics) in The Loudest Voice, but now Connie Britton is taking over in Bombshell. We've yet to glimpse the actress in character, but we already have a feeling she'll nail it.

Oscar winner Allison Janney plays Susan Estrich, a lawyer and professor who became the legal counsel to Ailes in 2016.
