Dame Judi Dench, Joan Plowright, and Angela Lansbury. They are perfect! I guess Aunt Nelly will be one of them.

When I read "The Tomb", I imagined she is Shirley MacLaine. I know I know, she is not from England. But, well.......I imagined so!

Joan Plowright is Mrs. Laurence Olivier, actually Dame Plowright is Baroness Olivier. She's a great character actress who was in "Tea with Mussolini," "Bringing Down the House," "Enchanted April" (which I loved), and many, many more.

It was she who I had in mind when reading about Vicky's aunts.

I think she'd be perfect!

Also, if they follow the book, we only get to see Nellie Patton anyway. Grace Westphalen was already taken by the Rakoshi . . . that's how the story opens.

The last time I saw Maggie Smith, was in the play PRIVATE LIVES, by Noel Coward. She's quite tall, and not at all my image of Nellie.

Eddie Izzard would be FABulous!

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.

He is a very funny man, Kenji. His standup comedy is hysterical.

He is also a heterosexual man who likes to dress as a woman. His club acts and theater are done in drag more often than not. He's a cross-dresser and he likes it and so do his fans. On him it looks good. Big Grin

And he's funny!
