I've been asked for my professional opinion on the likeness. My verdict: hair, outstanding; make-up, perfect; wardrobe, near-flawless. The neckline is just slightly too low--you'll look in vain for a photo of her that shows quite so much decolletage--but that's a quibble. They're erring on the right sight by emphasizing her flirtatiousness rather than her primness; the former was actually a large feature of her political personality; this is often insignificantly appreciated. Quite a Thatcherite facial expression. Good job, congratulations to the whole team. Now, go create a replica of Margaret Thatcher in the ways that really matter. The world will never stop thanking you.

One of Breitbart's people has read the script. Get ready for the lefty sucker punch:

That is a freaky image. Like Twilight meets Tim Burton meets Madame Tussauds.

That image reminds me of the Joan Crawford movie Mommie Dearest. Are you sure that's not Faye Dunaway?

Re: Meryl as Margaret
A retired Prime Minister still has an "office" in government? What does this mean, Claire?
