New Still of Bill Murray as FDR Revealed, See Other Celebs Who Played Real-Life People (PHOTOS)
In some newly released stills from the historical drama, Hyde Park on the Hudson, we get a firsthand look at Murray as he (comfortably) steps into the role of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. According to IMDB, the film is about: "The story of the love affair between FDR and his distant cousin Margaret Stuckley, centered around the weekend in 1939 when the King and Queen of the United Kingdom visited upstate New York." It's expected to hit theaters in December this year -- just in time for awards season! We have a feeling he'll score a nom or two.
Mr. Murray wouldn't be the first actor to portray a real-life person.

Who do you think has done the best job taking on these real-life roles? Sound off in the comments!
Still better than Minka Kelly.
See Lifetime, HBO chooses REAL ACTORS for their movies.
Bill Murray for Oscar!
They really look like each other a lot, but I have serious doubts about Ashton's acting talent.
Don't screw up, or the angels will kill you.
I think she will be better than Reese Witherspoon. Too bad it's only a TV movie.
Can't wait!
The Butler sounds so exciting. So many actors playing so many important people.
AMAZING!
I want to see the pictures first, but I think Scarlett can do this .
I am still in shock that she will portrait this legend, but the movie is sure gonna bring a lot of rating for Lifetime.
Hope she won't screw up.
Oh my god, who the fuck gave her that role, she's hot but she looks nothing like her
I am a huge huge fan of both Jewel and June Carter! Honestly, to my ears, both of these ladies have a SWEET HEAVENLY ANGELIC VOICE which is such a comfort and consolation to listen to especially before going to bed or if you have some kind of constant troubles in life! Jewel is the most beautiful girl inside and out (Should be noted as the MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL because she is!) So is the gentle yet strong beautiful June Carter! Jewel a pure country rooted who loves the real nature of the sweet country side. To have JEWEL to play June Carter Cash is the BEST and RIGHT choice that ever happened!!! I already looking forward so much into this. Jewel and June, the most inspiring women in my LIfe! ~♥~
