Casting Goals: Evita

Okay before ya’ll start calling for my head on a spike please read this: Argentina is 96.7% white and I’m just sick and tired of hearing about people claiming Evita is white washed when Argentina is a mostly white country. Therefore casting Eva as white woman would be more historically accurate. But for me when it comes to Evita one of the most difficult scores known to man you have to cast based on talent first. I fought back and forth between Chelsea Emma Franko, Emmy Raver-Lampman and Nicole Scherzinger as Eva and at the end of the day the one who kept going through my mind was Chelsea. I’m sure I’m gonna get so many comments calling me racist and what not, but bring it on.
