Hillary Clinton was taking an amount of teaching on how to be liked by the public, however, Hillary was doing it for her husband Bill Clinton, not for herself. Hillary Clinton - the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, was then advised to seek help from her husband, and Bill told Hillary Clinton, 'Let's ask Steven for help.'
The Clinton's old Hollywood friend - the American director, producer and screenwriter Steven Spielberg could provide Hillary Clinton with acting coaches to help her when she had to give a speech. However, Hillary Clinton didn't think she needed help, according to one of her friends, Hillary stated, "I get US$250,000 ($350,000) to give a speech," "and these Hollywood jackasses are going to tell me how to do it!"
But, the former President Bill Clinton insisted, saying, "Your policies and talking points are solid," Bill also told Hillary, "You can use Charlotte (Chelsea's baby daughter) to emphasize how you're all about women and children. Now the challenge is to repackage you in 2016 as a strong but a loveable older woman - more Golda than Maggie."
Hillary Clinton didn't see the similarity to Golda Meir or Margaret Thatcher, and Hillary said, "I'm not going to pretend to be somebody I'm not."
However, Hillary Clinton carried on with the likability lessons anyway - partly to please her husband Bill, but mostly to shut him up.
Hillary Clinton, then hired a cameraman, to film Hillary in an otherwise empty room as she read out speeches. The video tapes were passed on to acting coaches given by Steven Spielberg.
The former Secretary of State - Hillary Clinton, meticulously studied the video recordings too, noting that her hand gestures, use of eye contact and tone of voice - as Hillary reportedly found the process boring. But, Bill Clinton reminded Hillary that it could win her votes.
