 I know we're discussing OTMA, but methinks Nicole Kidman would be a fetching Czarina

I loved it, but was a bit confused, The guy as A.III was too thin, Catherine Z.J. were they insane. And Ian needed a nose job. They best in looks were Nicholas and Alexandra, but the G.D's were  far to pretty. bet I'll get beat up for that. I cant wait to see Meryl Streep as A.F.  If they do it before she dies.

Thank you, Anna, for referencing Lanie's message! But, I'm still in the dark as to when Candace Glendenning died. (Much as I've only just heard--and not been able to verify--Michael Jayston's death.)

I am aware of the situation involving Lynne Frederick's last years. I found a highly acerbic biography, The Life and Death of Peter Sellers, which presents some very sad--and often frightening--details re: not only Peter Sellers, but also of Lynne, his final wife.  She married and divorced twice after Sellers died--one of her husbands being David Frost--and died on April 27, 1994, having been a drug addict and alcoholic, as well as severely overweight.

Quite a contrast to the real-life Tatiana, as well as the schoolgirl-like voiceover Frederick provides for the featurette included with the Nicholas and Alexandra DVD.

You knew this was coming!! Lol. If anything the girls who portrayed the GD's in Nicholas and Alexandra weren't pretty enough!!! The Tatiana actress was pretty, but not along the lines of Tatiana.  >:(  ;)

I thought the girl who played Maria was pretty, albeit not chubby enough, she seemed very sweet in the Spala scene with Gilliard talking about her prince and 10 children. The girl who played Anastasia reminds me of a dark-haired Kirsten Dunst.

:D As I recall that was his first role EVER! Now look where he's at!

I loved him in Newsies!

I thought the exact same thing! If you put blonde hair on the Ananastasia actress, they would be too hard tt tell apart!

And to Jules Reverie:
So in Anastasia:The Mystery of Anna, they atually show parts before the claims?

Well the movie was made before they found out Anna Anderson was a fake, the movie was pro Anna Anderson(it was a study that tried to convince the audience she was Anastasia even though no one in the royal court and staff believed her) And Christian Bale plays Alexei in the flashback in the begining  of the assasination(not the best portrayal of the Romanovs, the other sisters don't have any lines and looks nothing like OTMA, only Anastasia, Alexei, Nikki and Alex have lines, and again so so on the resemblence.  Even though Bale hardly looked like Alexei, he did a good performance and really captured Alexei, which alone makes it worth watching. I reccomend the movie but don't have your hopes up, it's kinda boring and untrue to the actual events. You'll enjoy the movie more if you take the story in as another Kitchen Boy because if you take it in as a true story you'll be VERY dissapointed)
