    I forget what award show it was but I’m pretty sure Tina Fey and Amy Pohler brought her up and listed a lengthy resumé of all her accomplishments. Then transitioned to “And tonight we’re here to give her husband a lifetime achievement award.”

      Nice.

      There are three famous Clooneys. Two of them are married, one of them is the nephew of the third. When you think of them, you should think of Amal first, then George, then Rosemary. Sorry, Rosemary. Them’s the breaks.

        Then I guess she should have been in more award-winning TV shows and movies. Philanthropy doesn’t generally make one famous.

          I think the topic is less about largesse and more about being badass at really, actually literally like totally, super fucking important work.

            The majority of people sadly don’t care much about that work. What they reeeeally care about is the nipples on George Clooney’s Batman suit.

          I think you’re leaving out a few dozen or so extremely highly-rated and award winning George Clooney films. You could have mentioned films like Good Night, and Good Luck or O Brother, Where Art Thou?

          Meanwhile, I would say most people associate White Christmas with Bing Crosby.

          But more importantly, neither of them are human rights lawyers who argue in front of the ICC.
