Gillian Anderson is almost unrecognizable. How did she go from drab to ultra fab?
ReplyDeleteoh, she has turned into such a naughty minx, she has.... While I was googling for pics, I came upon tones of her naughty ones...
DeleteI remember seeing photos of the real future-queen in her army uniform
ReplyDeleteYou were out there at that time? :)
DeleteSounds like some great historicals.
ReplyDeleteHow are you, Dez?
we do love them historical!
DeleteHealthwise not so good, but I've found two new publishers, so I'm feeling better inside :)
Fun trailer!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what the queen thinks about it :)
DeleteI love the look of A Royal Night Out.
ReplyDeleteI didn't recognize Anderson with the blonde hair.
she does like to change her hair colour often
DeleteNight out looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteglad you think so
Delete"A Royal Night Out" looks very silly indeed.
ReplyDeletetotal silliness
DeleteA Royal Night Out does look like a fun one!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the queen thinks so too :)
DeleteWell hello... Ms. Anderson.
ReplyDeleteshe says hello back .. I mean literally!
DeleteA Royal Night Out looks intriguing and interesting. A glimpse at the life of a young queen. Must watch. Thanks for sharing (first time I've heard of it here).
ReplyDeletesadly, both British films and series, have very poor marketing and we often hear about them weeks or just months before the premiere :( Even with the famous names in the cast, we've only heard about this one this week too.
DeleteI haven't seen Gillian Anderson in a while. The blonde hair looks good on her.
ReplyDeleteSure does
