See the Cast of "The First Lady" Next to Their Real-Life Counterparts

Showtime's "The First Lady" gives viewers a closer look at the lesser-spotlighted resident of the White House: the women. The presidents of the United States have been the ones to garner most of the attention over the years. However, "The First Lady" will shed light on how the women behind the scenes kept the house running, kept their husbands in check, and did so much work for their country without an official political role. The first ladies of the United States are arguably the backbone of the presidential families.

Viola Davis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Gillian Anderson portray three of the most famous first ladies in American history in "The First Lady," and they will no doubt share a (dramatized) retelling of what happened behind the closed doors of the most famous address in Washington DC. And Showtime really nails it when it comes to making these actresses look like their real-life counterparts. See them all - plus their presidential spouses - next to the real people they're portraying.
