No, it's not the Onion.

Jane Fonda has been picked to play Nancy Reagan in the upcoming movie The Butler, an eyebrow-raising casting call given Fondas history of anti-war activism and former marriage to a Democratic politician.
The movie traces the life of Eugene Allen, who began working as a White House butler in 1952, when Harry and Bess Truman lived at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., and retired in 1986 during the Reagan presidency.
Mrs. Reagan, herself once an actress (Hellcats of the Navy), was known for her Adolfo gowns and the purchase of $25,000 worth of White House china, as well as her Just Say No anti-drug campaign.
She served the country by masterminding the firing of awful appointees (e.g. Interior Secretary James Watt, Chief of Staff Don Regan) and pushing the Gipper toward a legacy of arms control accords with the Soviet Union. She also made the Presidents schedule subject to approval by an astrologer.
