To: Alberta's Child
This is the description of Boudicca which I found:

"She was huge of frame, terrifying of aspect, and with a harsh voice. A great mass of bright red hair fell to her knees: she wore a twisted torc, and a tunic of many colours, over which was a thick mantle, fastened by a brooch. Now she grasped a spear, to strike fear into all who watched her." Dio Cassius

I also thought that she was at least in her 30s or 40s, which would make her late-middle-aged for that time. Watch them get a skinny little 25 year old babe to play her.

Sounds like a Geena Davis or Lucy Lawless role then.

Mass of red hair. Celtic looks....

Nicole Kidman. Though I had a mad crush on Moira Kelly in the early 90's.

Or the fieriest Celt of them all. Shannen Doherty.
