The actress, best known for her roles as the catsuited superhero Elektra and in a slew of fluffy romantic comedies.

Slightly better, but she looks to robust. It needs someone who looks a tad frail.

She could carry it off, though.  She'd be great if they were doing a spoof of Miss Marple.

I LOVE Joanna Lumley, but not in that way. 

Judi Dench would be good, I think.

Joanna's a deeper actress than she portrayed in AbFab. I think she's got the chops, but then again, so does Dame Judi.

Nah.

You need a British actress to play that part. Betty is just too American.

I agree with you about Joanna, but I think Judi just looks more the part for me.

Oh yeah, Maggie Smith.  HI5, bijou, you jewel, you nailed it!

As for Mrs. Benjamin Affleck, YOU are not worthy to fill Ms. Marple's shoes and Ms. Christie is rolling over in her grave as we speak.

Hollywood, in general, totally blows if you're looking for authenticity.  No offense, Chuck Norris, Gary Sinise, Hollywood NeoCon, et.al.

I certainly hope sane heads prevail.  Unless she has a HELL of a makeup artist, Mrs. Affleck doesn't belong in a role more suited to someone her mom's age.

Thank goodness, hope that's right. Perhaps there will be a rethink now Disney have seen the response to this.
