I can't think of any role she would NOT be captivating in. I don't care HOW wrong she is for a role, she would always be interesting.

By the way, I had a nightmare about LEGENDS last night. Let's just say that if my powers of prognostication are any indication, both Ms. Collins and Ms. Evans might want to re-think this "revival."

PEACE.

I love Carol as the White Queen! I still have the tape from the original broadcast (I was, like, 6 when that movie was shown). And to crossthread, Anthony Newley was in that, too (as the Mad Hatter).

The One role I would truthfully like to see her play is Madame Armfeldt in NIGHT MUSIC. I think she'd be brilliant.

But as for the painfully miscast -- how about as Caroline in CAROLINE OR CHANGE.
