In our thread over on the Elizabeth Files, we were in a discussion of our favorite (and not so favorite) Elizabeths, and after asking about Angela Pleasance's cameo as the Queen in a Doctor Who episode, we got to talking about a much younger Pleasance as Catherine Howard in the old BBC series with Keith Michell. I just posted some pics of the actresses who played Michell/Henry's wives because our main question was — were they all too old to be playing who they did. So I uploaded the pics so everybody could see.

You're invited to take a look:

http://www.facebook.com/album……52cee21e77. They should be available to all, whether I've Friended you or not.
Once you see them (and i've tagged them), I'm curious as to what YOU think of them too compared to their real-life counterparts and other actresses.
And if you have a favorite actress as Anne (or one of the other five), send me the pic so I can upload it to my album. I'd love to have a nice little variety in the end, even the ones that got cameo appearances (like Merle Oberon or Vanessa Redgrave). Oh and the pics are courtesy of Wikipedia, Flickr and Garrett Russell (who posted a link to Claire's sexualization of Anne Boleyn on his site.

Henry: Mistress Anne, will you teach the king of England how they dance in the French court?
Anne: There is nothing that France can teach England, your majesty.
King Henry VIII: Well said. Well said.
– Anne of the Thousand Days (1969)
