Petunia Dursley in Persuasion

I was watching the 1995 version of Jane Austen's Persuasion and looking at Mrs. Croft I suddenly thought that's Aunt Petunia! I looked it up and Fiona Shaw played both roles.

Fiona Shaw's a terrific actress. She was about the only good thing in True Blood season 4.

I tried watching True Blood. I think an ep was on tv so random ep, random season. I couldn't get into it.

Very nice.

I always enjoy being able to recognize actors in other things. :)

And the newest movie of Persuasion has Tony Head as Sir Elliot!

Okay, that's on-hold at the library.,

I'm watching an older version, which is an excellent version actually. I'm not sure we can do better than Amanda Root and CiarĂ¡n Hinds!
