She was a compelling subject because she played a role in major international events and because her life story had a “very human element,” said the editor-in-chief of People magazine.
THE queen elizabeth of britain charmed screenwriters and actors in Hollywood during her 70-year reign and was depicted in award-winning films, television series, cartoons, and even on the American satirical show “Saturday Night Live”.
The monarch, who died on Thursday aged 96, was the star of Netflix’s Emmy-winning TV series “The Crown” (The Crown).
THE Claire Foy she won two Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe for playing Elizabeth, the young, suddenly queen at the age of 27. Olivia Colman took on the role in recent seasons and Imelda Stoughton will reprise her role in the show’s fifth season, which starts airing in November.
When Foy won the Golden Globe in 2017, she thanked a number of “amazing women”, including Queen Elizabeth II. “She’s been in the spotlight globally for the last 63 years, and I think the world could … stand for more women in the spotlight, if you ask me,” Foy said.
British actress Helen Mirren won an Oscar for playing Elizabeth II in the 2006 film “The Queen” (The Queen), which focused on the Queen’s reaction to the unexpected death of Princess Diana.
Queen Elizabeth was a fascinating subject because she played a role in major international events and because her life story had a “very human element,” People magazine editor-in-chief Wendy Nogle said.
But it wasn’t just dramatic depictions of Queen Elizabeth. The animated sitcom “The Simpsons” honored her in many episodes of her 33 seasons.
Vanessa Redgrave voiced Queen Elizabeth II who appeared as a luxury car with… a crown in the animated film “Cars” by Pixar.
Comedian Fred Armisen portrayed her as a grumpy queen in various sketches on the show “Saturday Night Live”including one in which the “queen” told (the real) Elton John that he couldn’t possibly perform “loose” songs at a royal wedding.
The editor-in-chief of People magazine expresses the belief that we will see other depictions of Queen Elizabeth on the big and small screen in the future. “There is so much ground to cover,” he explains. “There is so much in this world that the public doesn’t see. And I think that when people feel like they can go behind the palace walls, it makes them excited and interested to learn,” he adds.
