Well that would lead creedance to the Donna Murphy/Marin Mazzie rumor.

What about Joanna Gleason...she should be available.

I love Gleason, but she has the completely wrong look for Desiree (not to mention the fact that she'll be sixty next year.)

She would have made for an excellent Charlotte some years ago, though.

Donna Murphy doesn't want to do revivals, I thought.

please, it has to be Marin.

Gleason doesn't strike me as a sexy swedish actress who two married men would battle over.

husk_charmer, Desiree is supposed to be the epitome of glamour. She's a woman who has been able to use her natural beauty and sensuality to manipulate men for almost her entire life.

While Gleason certainly isn't unattractive, I hardly think she fits that description.

But Glynis Johns, Jean Simmons, Sally Ann Howes and Judi Dench all radiate that? All of them were fabulous Desirées.

Johns was quite sexy and radiant in her day




And she sure looks like a glamourous Desiree to me

True, but I'm sure Joanna can look just as glamorous.

Sally Ann Howes looks pretty good, too. there are clips on THAT site, if anyone hasn't seen them.

ljay, that first pic of Glynis Johns is STUNNING.

Can we get some young Judi Dench photos? I've never seen any...I imagine it's like seing young Angela Lansbury photos, or a dog walk on its hind legs.

Oh for goodness sake, just cast Rachel York already! If Hannah Waddingham isn't coming over after all, she's the way to go, IMO.

I'm torn because I want the cast list now, but have a feeling I'm going to be incredibly disappointed with Desiree's casting (particularly if these Marin Mazzie notions have any truth to them).

haha, young Angela Lansbury pictures are mind blowing.

I have no idea how old she is here, but here's a younger Judi Dench as Titania at RSC




haha! qolbinau beat me to it!

husk_charmer, that photo proves the point being established here: while attractive, Gleason is plain. You're also forgetting the fact that she's far too old for the role.

Besides looks, her personality and delivery lend her as a far stronger Charlotte (when she was appropriate for it) anyway.
