His starring role as George W. Bush in the new Oliver Stone film W. is the latest in a series of high-profile jobs for Josh Brolin — including the Oscar-winner No Country for Old Men. He was also seen recently in American Gangster and In The Valley of Elah. ALSO, Curtis Sittenfeld‘s new novel American Wife is about a kind, bookish, young woman who marries a wealthy charismatic young man who eventually becomes president. It’s based on the life of Laura Bush. One reviewer calls it “a compassionate, illuminating, and beautifully rendered portrait.”
