I can't think of any role she would NOT be captivating in. I don't care HOW wrong she is for a role, she would always be interesting.
By the way, I had a nightmare about LEGENDS last night. Let's just say that if my powers of prognostication are any indication, both Ms. Collins and Ms. Evans might want to re-think this "revival."
PEACE.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Posted: 8/1/05 at 2:29pmI love Carol as the White Queen! I still have the tape from the original broadcast (I was, like, 6 when that movie was shown). And to crossthread, Anthony Newley was in that, too (as the Mad Hatter).

The One role I would truthfully like to see her play is Madame Armfeldt in NIGHT MUSIC. I think she'd be brilliant.
But as for the painfully miscast -- how about as Caroline in CAROLINE OR CHANGE.
