Other than her light eyes, Natalie Dormer seems to be a wiki fan favorite for her portrayal of A.B. I am wondering who you would vote for as the best Anne in the other movies you've seen? Who do you think portrayed her most accurately? Who was the prettiest Anne? Who would you choose to play Anne if they made a new movie?

Mine would be
COA=maria doyle kennedy and Francis Cuka because she looked the most like i imagined COA to look by the time her marriage was drawing a close and Maria because she was magnificent as COA

Anne B=Natalie dormer, her acting and english heritage make her my fave by far aswell as merle oberon(1933 movie) for her take on anne in the tower and the way she looked was amazing

Jane seymour=Emilia fox for the acting and charlotte roach because she looked more authentic as jane seymour, not as glamorous, skinny and angelic as janes portrayed doe not show a skinny angelic goddess to me LOL
Anne of Cleves= lol elsa lancaster, purely for a laugh, she was most likely nothing like anne and very un PC but she was fair, pretty and quite funny

Katherine howard=Lynne frederick, definetly looked the most like i imagined catherine howard as Howard was NOT a blonde skinny wee thing, like movies like to make out she was. not everyone in the 1500's were nichole ritchies like they are today lol and lynne was the most attractive and sweetest, however Emily Blunt is my second fave because of her acting in the tv movie was amazing as katherine even if she were too fair haired and skinny! Emily blunt should have won an award for that role and i loved her in DEVIL WEARS PRADA

Katherine parr= Claire hollma, a little older as catherine parr was and stunning too with her performance. She was From the 2003 movie which co-starred emily blunt and emilia fox and would have been my fave six wives movie had it not been for the way anne Boleyn and COA. while okay looking as the real queens there was no appeal to me in their acting of the two queens and Anne of cleves could have been better cast
