We Have Our Katherine Parr

If you are anything like me, you have a slight obsession with the show The Tudors. In any case, Good Queen Cate has finally been cast. Joely Richardson, daughter of Vanessa Redgrave, is the lucky lady to smooch next to JRM. Must be in the blood to play 16th Century ladies as her mother, Vanessa, had played Mary Queen of Scots and Anne Boleyn (though briefly, as an Anne Boleyn fan I sat through all of 'A Man For All Seasons' hoping to see her and it was one scene! Though I do recommend the movie if you want to watch an old 16th century film classic).

In any case, I am sure Joely will do a fantastic job, like all the actresses to play the wives so far have done. At least she has exprience with a corset, she was in the period flicks The Patriot and she was Marie Antoinette in The Affair of The Diamond Necklace.
Other than Anne B, Kitty Howard and Cate Parr are my favourite of Henry's wives so I guess Season 4 will have high expectations for me.... less hope it lives up to the hype
