Lady Babs Poll!
Well you know when I kicked off that daft casting couch discussion earlier this week I certainly didn't expect you all to start arguing about who should play Lady Barbara! However following_sea is here to provide a service to the Hornblower fandom community so if that's what you wants, that's what you gets! Here by popular demand is the Lady Babs poll. Your chance to choose the only person who gets to be snarky to Hornblower besides Archie Kennedy and Major M'Lord Edrington!
ETA I forgot to add that Forester initially describes Lady Barbara as follows:
"Her skin was fair despite its golden tan, and her eyes were grey-blue, of just the same evasive shade as her silk dress. Her face was too long for beauty and her nose too high arched, to say nothing of her sunburn."
Vivien Leigh
Keira Knightly
Margaret Lockwood
Nicole Kidman
That Hornblower chappie
Jennifer Ehle
Joan Sims
Kate Winslet
Virginia Mayo
Poll Vote for Babs!
Feel free to comment on your choice below. Particularly if you want to nominate someone else, like Paul McGann perhaps, or Jamie Bamber ;)
