I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Benedict Cumberbatch is your favorite actor. đWho are some of your favorite actresses? Who would you pick to play the lovely Seraphina DiPietro?
And here I was trying to play it cool about the âBatch.
I can give a partial current list of my favorite Actresses, but Iâm certain to remember more once I get home tonight & canât add to the list.Â
 Letâs seeâthese classic ladies:   Vivien Leigh, Kathryn Hepburn, Lucille Ball, Julie Andrews, Carol Burnett, Marilyn Monroe, Nichelle Nichols (whoâve Iâve come to finally, truly appreciate while rewatching ST TOS as a fully mature adult woman; she was freakinâ amazing, a queen, go on & watch her, she took the often banal & little things they gave her to do and simply shone, refusing to be a pretty, background wallflower) Â
And these fresher faces (in no particular order): Â Â Emma Stone, Rachel McAdams, Gal Gadot, Sophia Vegara (such beauty, brains & impeccable comic timing!), Zoe Saldana, Danai Gurira, Lupita Nâyongo, Jennifer Lawrence, Amy Adams, the incomparable Meryl (and let me tell you, I didnât like her when I was young because I couldnât fathom how amazing she is), Salma Hayek, Hayley Atwell, Winona Ryder, Elizabeth Banks, Fran Drescher (who I swear channels Lucille Ball at times), Rachel Hall, Sian Brooke (her work in Hamlet & Sherlock was exceptional)
As to who Iâd like to see play my dear Seraphina, wellâŠhmmmmmâŠJohn(Khan) sees her as very much an American Beautyâbut I never really did a face claim for her.  Iâd adore seeing Gal Gadot in the theoretical role, but sheâs almost too beautiful and exotic for Seraphina.  Rachel McAdams with dark hair might fill that image for meâbut Iâm gonna keep the question in the back of my mind, and if I suddenly find someone more fitting, Iâll let you knowâŠbut tell me please, who do you picture when you read her interacting with the dashing, dangerous, utterly drop-dead sexy John Harrison? Iâm really curious to know how my readers see her!
