To play Honor Harrington I nominate Representative to Congress elect from the State of Hawaii, Tulsi Gabbard.:-) A former captain in the Hawaii National Guard, deployed to Iraq for a year when it was still a hot zone and again to military police in Kuwait.
I just saw her interviewed on msnbc, the resemblance to Honor is striking. The dark eyes and hair, strong triangular face, well built and beautiful. Looks tall. She was seated but was much larger than the female anchor. T. Hall. Tulsi is one of two woman COMBAT veterans elected to Congress this year. IIRC
Acting? Hey all politicians have to be able to act. :-) And I think it would be awesome to have a woman combat vet play Honor. She darn well knows what battle is like, something your average Hollywood type does not.
The other woman combat vet elected this year is Lt Col Tammy Duckworth to the US Senate from Illinois. As many of you probably know, Col. Duckworth lost both legs flying a helicopter in Iraq.
