Another piece of evidence that beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder. Redheads are definitely in the eye of the beholder. My cup o' red tea may not be yours, and vice versa. LOL

The previous post is a rather candid photo of Julianne w/o the magic of makeup, in her older years. IOW, now. She looked much better before... the lack of prolong caught up with her...

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense

Charlize Theron in Atomic Blonde kind of sums up Eloise in a nutshell.

Julianne Moore is just too ....soft.. around the edges to play Eloise well.

I know what you mean, but that might make her more perfect for the role. Disarmingly soft, sensual and beautiful. Then... BAM!

Tatiana Maslany as a blonde is passable, and young enough, though no smashing beauty. She definitely has the acting chops to pull off the role. But she'd be good in any of the other captainy roles.

Rose, surely you do realize that the intense search spearheaded and supported by the male species in the forum to find you an Eloise is purely meant to save our very own Gal sent by God to play Honor, from being... misappropriated? :geek:

Well there you go then! Thumbs up!

Of course there's always a pool of underemployed supermodels looking for work, maybe you guys could find Eloise or Honor or Mike or ... on the pages of Sports Illustrated. :lol:
****

Just my opinion of course and probably not worth the paper it's not written on.

Pshaw. You need to protect Gal's grandchildren at the rate any known movie or TV series is progressing. :cry:

Hey, if one of y'all manage to come up with a contender, the more power to you - and the better for me! I really can't lose here. :mrgreen:
