One of my fav pictures of Alix and Bertie together, sorry if it's a repost, but does anyone know the year it was taken?

Young Alix (What hairdo!!)

[Yelena Aleksandrovna]

Already here this pose? Would like to see it bigger

The dress descibed as "sunk in greenry".

Good quality image of a Disdéri portrait about Alexaxndra

I always thought Winnola Ryder could play her...

[Carolath Habsburg]

No way, she s way too skinny and her face its too sweet  to be Alexandra in some movie. Uma Thurman is the woman, indeed.

[Eric_Lowe]

Alix was sweet remember ? Uma is too blond...

[Carolath Habsburg]

Erm...the faces doesnt resembla at all and hair can be dyed. Remember that Uma had Red hair, brown hair and her natural blonde

[Eric_Lowe]

If you look at how she looked in Age of Innocence and compare to those of Alix before her marriage to bertie, you will see the resemblence.

[Carolath Habsburg]

Hm,...i have the DVD of that movie and certainly i cant see the resemblance at all, but well, as always, all that is in the eye of the beholder. I think she looks a lot like Uma and Uma would do an excellent job as Alexandra, in special in her married days.

Uma's beauty had since fade out. Need a younger girl to play the young Alix. Too bad most people thought Alexandra was feather-brained and do not deserve a movie...

Uma's beauty had since fade out.

I have to agree on this. She has lost the freshness of her face.

[Eric_Lowe]

She was like a riped peach in "Dangerious Liasions". She is still pretty in the recent role as Medusa, but the freshness is gone.

Puty that all the actresses i d liike to see on screen as royals (Meryl Streep as Ella, Uma as Alexandra) are "Too old" to portray them young. But still Uma can portrait a mature Alexandra. MAggie Smith did an awesome jog in 2all the king`s men"
