I was surprised to find my self addicted to The Tudors<\/a>, on Showtime, which just had its season finale last week. \u00a0 It seemed pretty stupid the first time I watched it. That Jonathan Rhys Meyers is such a terrible actor. He seems to think he’s playing Elvis most of the time, or else he’s just glaring insanely. And I’m not really interested in historical drama.<\/p>\n

What drew me in was the unforgettable face of Natalie Dormer as Anne Boleyn. She has what I consider a pig nose, in the best sense of the term. It’s so turned up, you could look right into it. And she held that pignose high, even into death. ( At least I think she did, because I had to close my eyes for that.)<\/p>\n

Every Sunday night, I curled up on the couch to see that nose. The production values were excellent, the costumes were beautiful, the plot was full of intrigue, but for me it was all about Natalie Dormer. Her trajectory from devious minx to a deeply tragic figure was so gripping, and superbly acted. \u00a0 And at the center of her performance was her nose.<\/p>\n

I miss her already. I couldn’t care less about Season 3. They’re all dead to me now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
