Beth in SW WA Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I've watched both Elizabeth & Elizabeth: The Golden Age. Then I watched the HBO miniseries from Netflix this week w/ Helen Mirren as the Queen. Is there another version that is more accurate? I'm quite fixated w/ her these days. Not sure why. Thanks & Happy Friday!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Atl Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I love them both, but Glenda Jackson did such an amazing job, I always think of her as Elizabeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clwcain Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 King Elizabeth? I don't care for her, but I don't think she was a man, bay-bee! /Austin Powers ;) I don't think anyone has done a true-to-life biopic of her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth in SW WA Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 Follow up to this conversation... I just watched The Other Bolyn Girl last week and it was fascinating to get a glimpse (albeit Hollywood-ized) into Elizabeth's mother's tumultuous life. It helps me understand a bit about Elizabeth's "issues"... Jenny, I'll check out Glenda Jackson's Elizabeth. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth in SW WA Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 Love it! Thanks for the link! Lately I'm fixated w/ Elizabethan England for some strange reason :) It must be going around... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colleen Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Kate CA and I both read Alison Weir's The Six Wives of Henry VIII earlier this year. Actually, Kate read it first and was then kind enough to send me her copy; I read it along with a small group of friends with whom I meet for a book club. It's worth your time since you're in that phase.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth in SW WA Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 Thanks, Colleen! It sounds like a great summer read :) (what isn't?) It's $11 ish on Amazon. Did you see The Other Bolyn Girl? I'm curious if it was remotely factual -- as compared to Weir's book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
