Kevin Spacey Sidles Up With Chavez
Maybe he is looking for a new home in a socialist paradise or looking for a few million to do a film like Danny Glover received, I don’t know. What I do know, is that he is certainly not helping the oppressed people of Venezuela by giving credence to the dictator for life.
Actor Kevin Spacey meets with Chavez
Venezuela - Actor Kevin Spacey met privately Monday with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, one of Washington’s most outspoken critics in Latin America.
Neither Spacey — who has won Academy Awards for roles in “The Usual Suspects” and “American Beauty” — nor Chavez spoke to the press after the nearly three-hour encounter in the presidential palace in Caracas. They shook hands warmly on the red carpet as Spacey left after a dinner with Chavez.
Hours earlier, the actor visited a $13 million film studio founded last year by the government to support Venezuelan filmmaking. Details were not released about the rest of Spacey’s itinerary.
