If I knew Sophie Thompson was in it, I definitely would have picked it up! Shall do now.<br /><br />@MelMel- She is almost unrecognizable in her various roles. It took me a while to figure out that she was in Gosford Park. And her scene with Tom Hollander is one of my faves in the film! I got excited to see her in Harry Potter too. I don't have young kids to drag to the Harry Potter films anymore so my hubby goes with me. He's glad they are over now. :)Jenny Allworthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08518779478842699970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833418224175267236.post-46235887163340611022011-11-18T18:16:05.541-05:002011-11-18T18:16:05.541-05:00Persuasion is one of my very favorites - it took m...Persuasion is one of my very favorites - it took me two viewings to finally realize that Mary was Sophie Thompson! She was incredibly different than other parts I had seen her in. It was fun to see her pop up in the Harry Potter movie! I nudged my husband in the theater, whispering to him "That's Sophie Thompson!" Of course, he was probably thinking "Who the heck is Sophie Thompson?" LoL!!Mel Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00000426700917741670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833418224175267236.post-25599688025908999052011-11-18T08:18:25.596-05:002011-11-18T08:18:25.596-05:00She also plays Moxie in a movie version of 'Re...She also plays Moxie in a movie version of 'Relative Values' with all sorts of wonderful people in the cast. Julie Andrews, Stephen Fry, Colin Firth, William Baldwin.<br />And it's based on a play by Noel Coward.<br /><br />I absolutely love Sophie in Persuasion though, she is simply amazing. ^_^Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
