Myrcella Baratheon Fancast Resource
Myrcella has golden curls, emerald eyes, and full lips. She is described by her uncle, Tyrion Lannister, as having all of her mother Cersei's beauty, but none of her mother's nature. Myrcella is delicate, beautiful, and courteous. For her age, she displays courage, a strong will, and high intelligence. She is eight, or almost eight, at the beginning of A Song of Ice and Fire. Myrcella resembles Rosamund Lannister. (x)
TIL: Eight-year-olds are smaller than you think they are.
CARA JENKINS - YOUNG ELIZABETH (BELLE)
Cara was 8/9 when filming Belle. She’s got a handful of scenes at the beginning of the film, all in regency-ish clothing.
ELLE FANNING - MARY (THE NUTCRACKER IN 3D)
This film had an unusually long post-production, so despite the 2010 release date, it was filmed a few months after Elle’s 9th birthday. I honestly cannot pin down any sort of era for the fashion, but she’s just got the most perfect Myrcella curls.
POPPY WIGGLESWORTH - CHARLOTTE (THE DUCHESS)
Poppy (seriously does this kid have the most fun name or what?) was also 9 when filming The duchess. Late 18th-century fashion, usually in scenes with several younger girls.
ANAMARIA VARTOLOMEI - VIOLETTA GIURGIU (MY LITTLE PRINCESS)
11 during filming, Anamaria is really too old for Myrcella, but she’s has such a perfect aesthetic for her that I’m including her anyway.
1. HANNAH ENDICOTT-DOUGLAS - BRIDGET O’MALLEY (SAMANTHA: AN AMERICAN GIRL ADVENTURE): 9 during filming, Edwardian fashion. She plays a working-class girl, so most usable Myrcella footage comes from the end, when she’s in a nightgown instead.
2. ELSA HOUBEN - KATHERINE WOODVILLE (THE WHITE QUEEN): I can’t find an exactly birthdate, but she was roughly 10 during filming. The White Queen and the other Philippa Gregory series’ are full of tiny blonde children in Tudor dress, but you do have to do a fair amount of mining since the children tend to appear briefly.
3. LIA GIOVANELLI - YOUNG COSETTE (BBC LES MISERABLES): Another one for whom I can’t get an exact birthday, but she’s 10ish as well. Again the costume design’s not super accurate to Westeros, but she’s an expressive child with a fair amount of featured scenes.
4. RAMONA MARQUEZ - PRINCESS MARGARET (THE KING’S SPEECH): 9 during filming, medium number of featured scenes, early 20th century fashion.
Particularly for this one, feel free to add any of your own! The full set of my fancast resources can be found here.
