imaginary casting suggestions
Aug. 15th, 2010 10:41 pmI've got a story keeps stalling on the fact that the main character keeps trying to be Rupert Giles in drag, which image is so distracting the plot sort of wanders off to have a giggle. So I need to cast this character and get her a name and stuff. But I don't know that many actresses.
Character born 1975ish, female, white, british. Possibly tall. Character is a university English teacher with a colorful past she thinks she buried. Stuffy tweeds Giles background, only a woman. And not in fact looking like Giles. Probably.
Any suggestions?
probably the story will continue to stall even after this, but is worth a try.

and wiki for UK 1975ish actress
Kate Winslet 1975
Gabrielle Anwar 1970
Julia Sawalha (born 9 September 1968) is a bit older than I was thinking
Kate Beckinsale 1973
Rachel Weisz 1970
Katie Carr 1973
Emma Cuniffe 1973
Emilia Fox 1974
That's like one and only one woman from 1975.
is trickier than it seems, this casting bit.

Date: 2010-08-16 05:06 pm (UTC)I tried wiki again and found a bunch of people
Heather Peace
Julia Dalkin
Ruth Millar
Jodhi May
Sienna Guillory
so there's lots of people but I need to know how to work the data.
Rachel Weisz seems to have settled in to my head okay so the character is no longer in drag. Win.
