I saw a picture on Twitter a little while ago of Josie Rourke with Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie on the set of Mary Queen of Scots. It was the last day of shooting for one of the ladies and the first day for the other, and I know that Mary and Elizabeth didn't spend *that* much time on screen together but it still seemed odd that one major player could be finished filming when there was still so much filming to go. Which is a needlessly long-winded way of saying I could easily believe that filming of The Crown could run up until 28th February but Queen Elizabeth herself could be finished well before then.  |

Especially if you consider that there were a couple of episodes of series 2 particularly where Her Maj was hardly in it.

That was what I was trying to explain but not very well! There are all sorts of things in the episodes, there could be episodes focused on other royals or just other things happening in them that doesn't involve her at all. As to if they filmed as far as today I don't know if that's the case but I know the wrap party was a few weeks ago. Maybe they've been doing some pickups in the last couple of weeks but you'd still expect filming to be wrapped up by the time the wrap party happens (ok I do know of cases where that hasn't been the case but it's usually been by a couple of days not weeks).

She'll get her pick of film projects and a large number of films are made in the UK, so she may have no need to relocate to LA. She was a TV and even a film actress before she started doing theatre roles. She will likely do a stage run again in due course but Broadway may beckon more than the West End.
She must be in line or at least an OBE or even a CBE. If Bennedict and Tom Hardy can get CBEs for their film work and the younger Sheridan Smith got an OBE a couple of years back. The Damehood may be a fair few years off but I could well seeing a minimum of an OBE being offered this year to her.
We don't know of course if she has been offered anything before and might have declined it.

I quite agree, but that is positively civil for DM comments. I would also note how many of them come from non-UK people, and in particular, Americans. I remember coming to the UK (I'm Canadian but lived in the US for a long time before that) and being absolutely gobsmacked that people on TV in the UK looked like, well, normal people, and not plasticised and aerobicised dolls. Olivia has got where she has by sheer, blinding talent (not that she's not pretty, she's lovely, she's just not stereotypical Hollywood). Once they see her performance, they'll come around. |

being absolutely gobsmacked that people on TV in the UK looked like, well, normal people On a slight tangent, I'd be interested to know what the average size for a leading actress is here and in Hollywood - looking at the red carpet parade, an 8 or 10? Less? A recent call for film extras in my home town said no-one over a 12 (fair enough if it was a period drama set in the depression or Dickensian times but not if it wasn't - they didn't specify!). The average British woman is size 16. 'Normal' size or naturally plus-size actresses tend to be restricted to comedies. I'm aware actors have to be physically fit but larger people can be fit too, and we just don't seem to see the physical variety on screen that we used to. |
