The trailer for Leonard Bernstein's forthcoming Leonard Bernstein biopic, "Maestro," was revealed in August, and the internet went wild. The actor wears a remarkably large prosthetic nose in Bradley Cooper's portrayal of the legendary composer, prompting critics to accuse the production of perpetuating a Jewish stereotype. Counter-attackers are referring to this as an unnecessarily "woke" position, saying that Cooper is simply wearing makeup to represent a person.

'And she was trying to put blame in every conceivable direction, despite it being a positive piece.' She didn't like the photographs at first glance. She was skeptical about the report. She was angry that it was about Harry, not her.' And the clincher? It was racial. The headline was what shocked her. In the 1939 film Babes In Arms, she and Harry pointed out that the song, 'I'm Just Wild About Harry,' was performed by Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney as a blackface number. (inset).
