8. PRESIDENT ANDREW SHEPHERD
As seen in THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT (Played by MICHAEL DOUGLAS)
The usual cliché for Presidents in film is either A. President in crisis or B. President in love, in
Rob Reiner'sTHE AMERICAN PRESIDENT,
Michael Douglas President Shepherd falls into category B. Shepherd is hugely popular in the polls but his personal life is anything but a success. A widower, he soon falls for
Annette Benning's feisty environmentalist, but in turn takes a battering at the polls. Eventually though he turns it around and his love makes him a better President and a better man, he even gets the girl, it wouldnt be much of a romantic comedy if he didnt now would it?
