Except I found that version so deathly boring that I stopped watching it midway through.
ETA: I liked Kate Winslet's Ophelia.
Maysa is me on both counts.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Nope, not the Swan...what is it called, the main stage...The National Theatre? Is that right? It's right next to the Swan.
And yes, I loved Stratford.
I've completely blanked on the author--I'm really horrible at that--but there's a mystery series with Shakespeare in the early days and an actor buddy of his falling into situations and having to figure them out. You get to see Will cribbing lines from people and stealing their names and their lives for later works.
Would that be the Shakespeare and Smythe series by Simon Hawke, Connie? There's at least one other series I can think of with an actor who works with Shakespeare, and that's by Phillip Gooden.
I'm with Frankenbuddha: Throne of Blood is the best Macbeth on film.
Isn't that the one where Lady Macbeth is like sixteen? It's so dark and dreary.
Francesca Annis was born in 1944 - she's ten years my senior. In Polanski's version of the Scots play, she was 27. And naked for sleepwalking scene, all pure skin and flaming red hair.
Simon Hawke, yes! Thank you, Sheryl.

And to be completely shallow, a stone hottie. I'd completely forgotten she was Lady Jessica in Lynch's DUNE. Probably the last time I saw her in anything. She was still lovely.

She's all "Unsex me now," and I'm all, "Ain't happenin'."
I am in the Francesca Annis = Stone Hottie corner. And Ralph Fiennes - several years her junior, and a man I would do in Macy's window, speaking of stone hotties - apparently agrees.

That's right, I knew she was romantically linked with someone interesting.
