I see in todays newspaper that a film is to be made about 'Attilla the Hen' Thatcher. My money is going on Dame Edna Everage to play the title role Who do you think should get the job?.

I reckon Helen Mirren could do the job well.

Cate Blanchett. Always Cate Blanchett, whatever the job.
Hell, I'd watch her as GW Bush.

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!

Helena Bonham Carter as the young Thatcher.
Judi Dench as the mature Thatcher.

Too bad Benny Hill has passed on. He could have done them both!

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
Eddie Izzard - aka my hero!!)

Yes, I agree - Blair has been playing Thatcher for the past (nearly) ten years. A blonde wig and one of Cherie's frocks is all he needs.

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.

It was great to see her weep as she was ejected from her home. The most requested video on TV for years after.

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.)

Maggie Thatcher, Ron Reagan, and Brian Mulroony were the three stooges of government but unlike the originals they were not a damn bit funny.

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.
