Praise for Sarah

I think Sarah deserves praise for what she has done for Mary Tudor. She has transformed the image of Mary from a disgusting old religous fanatic into a beautiful young woman who suffered horribly throughout her life. Yet still found it in her heart to love the daughter of her enemy and her baby brother who has taken her place as heir. Sarah and the writers should be appluaded. Now whenever I think of Mary I dont see that woman from Elizabeth(1998). There is very little mentions of Mary's future religous beliefs. You see how horrible her life was and why she seemed so irrational when it came to Catholicism and Phillip when she became queen. Do you find this valuable?

People keep saying how Jonathan Rhys Meyers deserves an award for his acting abilities on the Tudors, when i find Sarah Bolger is far more deserving of that honour! I couldn't see myself watching Season 4 if someone else was to take the role, because thanks to Sarah one of histories most villified monarchs is finally being seen as the Princess she was, rather than the Queen she became! I recently purchased Linda Porter's book on Mary Tudor, and am enjoying it immensely, she uses a very interesting quote to describe Mary, an woman who loved well, but not wisely, and it is so accurate!

No offense to the actress who played Mary in Elizabeth (1998), and the woman really did frighten me, i actually had nightmares consisting of her. But i always thought, and don't attack me for this, that her exterior represented the acts that were commited during Mary's reign, the ugliness of the Marian Persecutions...
