A few years ago, Weiner advised Ben Affleck the director and star of Argo on his political role in State of Play. But it was actually Abedin, an aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who helped Affleck with this movie, the actor said.
Huma is a really close friend of mine, Affleck explained on the red carpet. In fact, Huma the reason why shes here is she was instrumental in helping us shoot the State Department.

Huma was enormously helpful, and obviously we invited her and she brought her husband. I look forward to seeing him.

A classy lady who deserves now well earned time off.
