My above all favourite portrayal was by Janet Suzman. However, even hers is overshadowed, if but briefly, by Gayle Hunnicutt's performance in one episode of Fall of Eagle's. In "Tell The King The Sky Is Falling", I found Gayle captured Alexandra perfectly. She had all the right combinations of paranoia, insecurity, and demanding authority. This explodes in the scene in which Alexandra visits Stavka to encourage Nicholas to make the right choices on the government. It's just my opinion, I've yet to view Romanovy: Ventsenosnaya Semya so I cannot judge on Lynda Bellingham's performance.
