Witch actors would you like to see as an historical queen/king


There are some who really need to play a queen or king on big screen.
Every time I see them I think they have to play this role soon :

Catherine Zeta Jones and Kate Beckinsale Anne Boleyn
Nicole Kidman Elizabeth I
Russsell Crowe and Leonardo Dicaprio Henry VIII
Charlize Theron or maybe Nicole Kidman

Are you dissatisfied with the quality of the huge number of shows made about the less than exemplary House Tudor? THE PRIVATE LIFE OF HENRY VIII is certainly so ridiculous that it resembles a bedroom farce in which HVIII is played by Benny Hill or Robbie Coltrane.

Not dissatisfied but there will Never be too much for me
The Tudors were so fascinating that I could watch 1000 more movies about them
It would be Great to see one movie for each of henrys Wife's and for each of his three .

One about Edward the son Jane Seymour gave him, Mary his first daughter and one about Elizabeth his most successful daughter

Katherine of Aragon certainly deserves a movie about herself, considering all the garbace she had to put up with.

It would be great to see a movie about her relationship with Henry and her relationship with henrys older brother.
I'm tired that all movies show her when she got older and unattractive.

It would be nice to see her when Henry was in love with Catherine of Aragon
How they felt in love with each other.

Catherine Zeta-Jones and Nicole Kidman are witches? Wow.

Well, Nicole Kidman did play in Bewitched, so I should have guessed it.

There was a French two-part television film about her:

Catherine de Medicis was played by Alice Sapritch in her final screen role:

I have no idea if it was any good, though I have found that a DVD is onsale from a Dutch website:
