The problem is - who will play her?!

A movie about former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in the run-up to the 1982 Falklands War is being planned.



But the REAL conundrum here is who on earth would you choose to play Britain's most formidable PM in living memory? Helen Mirren's been done to death now she has the Oscar for "The Queen", Steve Nallon (who did all the Spitting Image voices) is a man(actually), so who would YOU choose?

Glenda Jackson? (too left-wing); Faith Brown?(not really an actress); Dame Judi Dench? (too damned nice); Gwyneth Paltrow? (too ridiculous!); Meryl Streep?; Dame Diana Rigg?; Penelope Keith?; Julie Andrews?; Phyllis Diller?

It is difficult to imagine what kind of diva would possibly fit the bill, but I look forward to seeing what exactly the producers make of this project!
