I have often thought how much richer my life is because of
the computer. Of late, I have been bringing home old movies
from the library. Mary Queen of Scots and the Lion in Winter. I just had to know more so I immediately went to
Wickapedia to set myself straight.

A very young Anthony Hopkins played Richard the Lion Heart
in the Lion in winter. He had a marvelous voice and presence even as a young man. Timothy Dalton played the
French king and he was extremely good looking. Kathryn
Hepburn got an academy award for her part as Eleanor of
Acuataine. My research pointed that Eleanor and Henry II
were reconciled toward the end of his life.

Mary queen of Scots was good. I was fascinated by the
performance of Glenda Jackson as the wiley Elizabeth I.
Poor Mary chose so poorly when it came to the men in her life.

These old movies were well worth watching for a second time.
They were pretty close to historical fact.
