TA:MOU = Themed Anniversary: Moving On Up
DA EVEN NEWER ROOLZ
Each Tuesday a theme will be decided based on the Anniversary of some significant event. All you have to do is trawl your reviews for any that relate to that event and post them here with a link.
You can post as many as you wish, so long as either the film or your review clearly relates to the theme. You can only post during the week of the current TA:MOU.
You don't have to say you voted unless you really want to - but you are expected to visit all the links posted. As a courtesy to the majority of fwfrs, you may only post a link that uses the http://www.fwfr.com domain name.
Each TA:MOU # will be removed when a new one takes its place. This is to deter re-visiting of expired threads.
Yours truly
Da Management
ON THIS DAY
1542 Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, was crowned Mary I at the age of nine months.
Regents ruled in her stead until she came of age and she packed a lot into her troubled life before Elizabeth I ordered her beheading in 1587. You can see Edison's recreation of the execution here.
We don't hear enough about Scottish women, so to redress this balance, today's TA:MOU challenge is to post your fwfrs for films starring or co-starring Scottish actresses. We'll get started as soon as you finish your porridge.

Hmm. There are more than a few websites that call Swinton Scottish - and I think she calls herself Scottish as well. She was born in London, but that doesn't make her a Londoner. Her family are most definitely Scottish aristocracy- proudly and fervently so having a historical record dating the name and crest back to the 9th Century... or so I've read. She also lives in Scotland now.
IMDB Biog: "The fiercely talented Scottish actress Tilda Swinton"
Tilda Swinton.net: "Born into a patrician Scottish military family"
STV (ScotlandTV: "The Michael Clayton star, along with other notable Scots film figures, demand film studies qualification made available in schools."
National Archives of Scotland: "Tilda Swinton is the latest Famous Scot featured at our exhibition in Edinburgh." - she's in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery.

Well, with liteweight arguments like that, I MUST be a pushover!

| Is being considered Scottish enough to be included in the National Scottish Portrait Gallery a lightweight excuse? I've seen too many websites and interviews calling her Scottish to think it's a mistake... but if you're sure then I won't mind if you skip those links. :) |

Anyway, I'd already voted for every single one, except one. Which is now voted for, two. One. Two.
