Lol we are disregarding height as well as pulse here.

Height would not concern me too much there. John Rhys-Davis is 6'1", and he played Gimli. Also, none of the Hobbit actors are under 4 feet tall. That's what good old camera angles are for. (I use the LotR references since the majority of their height-difference shots were handled with traditional camera angles and tricks instead of tons of CGI).

My point exactly, only explained better than I did :)

Yeah, I don't know. Seems awfully bothersome to make someone look tall if they're to appear in full view in lots of scenes. Although Lanfear may not appear as much as Rand, for instance, so it might work out well anyway in her case.

Well, if the body doesn't have to belong to an actress, and we disregard the height, then I'd say Jessica Lange's mind into the body of Linda Evangelista could possibly make the ideal Lanfear.

 

Gisele Bundchen and Elle McPherson have acted on screen (and I don't know if they could have acted  well enough to convince anyone they had Lanfear's mind), but I don't know if Evangelista has ever done that. Linda Evangelista is "only" 1.75 meters tall. Jessica Lange could probably act evil enough, had she had the right appearence. 

 

(Younger versions of them all. Now they're too old.)

 

Linda Evangelista was certainly beautiful enough:

 

 

 

 

Are you talking about this Jessica Lange? The one who played in King Kong?

 

What about Sarah Shahi?

 

 

 

Don't know who she is but at least she has brown eyes! lol ...

Jessica Lange played in American horror story. I didn't see all the episodes, and most of what I saw was from one of the seasons. She made a pretty evil impression there. She's been known and well received by critics for a long time, so she might never have come with a small pay-check. Not the most beautiful woman in the world even when she was young, I think.

Oh wow I forgot how gorgeous Hedy Lamar was.... And I forgot what a pain it is to post images on ios mobile

 

 

Oh my yes! In fact, I might have to change my vote to make her my number 1 ...

 

Oh dear....I'm going to have to throw Joan Collins into this one! 

 

Talk about beauty and attitude!

 

 

Hmmm ... her face seems a bit ... unrefined, to me.

How about Alyssa Sutherland. She plays Aslaug on Vikings and has done a pretty good crazy!

 

 

 

She's certainly gorgeous, but I think she'd make a much better Aviendha than Lanfear.

I'm all for Jamie Alexander, you might know her as Sif

 

 

Oh my word yes! I know her as Jane Doe in Blindspot - she's breathtakingly beautiful, and a good actress.

This is almost exactly how I pictured Graendal

Oooh you're on to something there, Mills! I was thinking of starting a Graendal or Semi thread next, as is *grins*

Prob my #2 for Lanfear - she's amazing in Blindspot, and beautiful as well.

 

 

But if we're talking about any time for any actress, clearly there can be no other than Angelina.  In her prime, there has never been (nor will there ever be) another woman as beautiful and magnetic as Angie.

 

Honorable mention to Kate Beckinsale, of course.

Oooh you're on to something there, Mills! I was thinking of starting a Graendal or Semi thread next, as is *grins*

I have no idea for Graendal, but Semirhage is one of those characters that I've consistently imagined as the same person since the very first scene she was in.

Tell me it's Naomi Campbell ...

Semirhage would be around 1.87 meters in height (even taller than Lanfear), dark in skin, wavy hair and quite beautiful. Also sadistic in nature - more evil than Lanfear, if that's possible. Descriptions will probably break down at that point. They will probably have to change that when they're adapting it to screen. Artistic freedom or whatever.

Nope...I am on my phone right now and can't post a pic easily, but Semi is someone I'd enjoy a thread for.

 

I would have found it an amusing coincidence if you'd started it on the first of this month.

My vote would be Vanessa Williams.

I'll start one soon *grins*

Well, I might as well put this out there. Grace Jones as May Day in A View To A Kill.

 

She's good but I like michonne for it.

How about Megan Fox for Lanfear !?

 

Always thought she was pretty.

For Lanfear or Semirhage? We've had some thread drift here. Semirhage specifically being described as black, but I'm not assuming anything about what you're thinking.

I was thinking she be good for Lanfear, she has that alluring come hither quality that reminds me of that character.
