Klaus Kinski did a good job in"Nosferatu".Pity that Kinski is no longer with us.I think Thatcher would have made a good"Nosferatu".They were very similar!

My vote would have gone to Helen Mirren til I read the thread above -- Helena Bonham Carter and Judi Dench would be perfect....no comedians though, she wasn't funny (except just maybe

No, he sneers at us all behind closed doors with his cronies. I'd prefer it if he did openly sneer at us, instead of being such a two-faced b******d.

Maggie and Dennis should be played, respectively, by Matt and David of Little Britain. They'd bring just the kind of gravity and respectfulness appropriate to a film about her life.

It seems wrong somehow that she should be portrayed by a woman. But if that is to be the case I'll put in another vote for Maureen Lipman who would do it perfectly. (She's 'from Hull' as well.)

Ann Coulter -- very funny! But she's a lousy actor. I suggest Vanessa Redgrave would do a great job. She has the skills to pull it off.
