"The Queen" is very good. Brought back memories...I haven't seen Mirren's "Elizabeth I"...my favorite Gloriana remains...hmmm...Glenda Jackson followed closely by good ole Bette Davis. Davis was perhaps closer in portraying some of the physical characteristics of that queen, as reported by foreign diplomats (with or without malice). The waddle, the fist-punch upon furniture or courtier, the bullhorn voice...But no one, however, has ever gone all the way: only a few teeth remaining and these, black. LOL!
