Perfect Casting Part Three
mid_life_crisis:
There are plenty of seriously beautiful actresses in their mid forties. Mab's handmaiden shouldn't look like a child, at least not to me.
I'm probably getting her hair color wrong, but I always see Lea as a redhead wearing a forest green dress. Is that correct?

Red Hair, yes, though Im not sure the green dress has always been consistent. Green Eyes though.
For Lea I tend to picture Melinda Clarke showing a vintage age similar to her appearance in Firefly

I think Mab and Lea have to be cast in their thirties, simply because of the length of filming and the need to remain youthful. even at two books per season/year, it'll take 12 years to tell the story.
Maeve and Aurora were supposed to look barely legal, but that can be fudged.
I've actually wanted one person to play Maeve, Aurora, and Sarissa, and let costumes, acting skill, and makeup turn them into different people. see Tatiana Maslani in orphan black for how that could be done.

Nice one! Depending when the movies would actually get made, I'm for Christina Hendricks. Give her a few years to mature, still. :) (click to show/hide)

Hmmm... I could really see that too. The catch is I paradoxically see a younger Lea when in her post-PG Crazy, but an older more matriarchal Lea in the first appearances, when she was still the ancient and dreaded Godmother.
