The Celluloid Muse

blanchett_galadrielSo how about another angle on Mawrdew Czgowchwz? Since, at the end of the novel, the eponymous oltrano decides to take a brief hiatus from her métier of “musicry” to star in motion picture, how about we produce (in the boundless realm of imagination) a film based on the McCourt novel? Above, La Cieca’s nominee for the title role, Cate Blanchett. Your suggestions for further casting?

The photo above obviously depicts La Czgowchwz in one of her stage roles (bonus points if you can guess which) and the next photo is of the diva offstage, or, to put it another way, as offstage as she gets.

    Was an audio book ever considered? Or a Parterre podcast? I still did not get my copy, by the way. Hope to get it before my holiday.
