I am so glad that she found such great happiness with Max Mallowan, her archaeologist husband. I truly do admire her, not just as a writer but as an amazing woman who should inspire us all.<br />YES! WE did get to see that BBC version on our TV! I am grateful, we don't always get to see things that you do!<br />Thanks very much for your comment, please stop by again! :-)<br />Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-88683596544765591892017-11-07T09:43:19.735-05:002017-11-07T09:43:19.735-05:00If you ever have chance then visit Greenway at Gal...If you ever have chance then visit Greenway at Galmpton Devon which is cared for by the National Trust and was Agatha Christie’s home. There are amazing displays of her personal life including a tailor’s dummy wearing an outfit she wore. She was much taller than I imagined plus lots of info about her archaeologist husband. What an amazing woman she must have been. The BBC did a new version of And Then There Were None over Christmas 2015 starring Aidan Turner (Poldark) by the way.Redhair116https://www.blogger.com/profile/01017384252629409623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-60270000885642553962017-10-26T20:36:20.106-04:002017-10-26T20:36:20.106-04:00Yay!

Dustin Hoffman was in it, too. It was about the period that Agatha went missing for a while. 1979 movie, "Agatha" was, however, a fictional account of what may have sparked off her never explained disappearance for 11 days.<br /><br />I watch a TV interview with Kenneth Branagh during this past week in which he talked about the new movie with him playing Poirot..."Murder on the Orient Express"<br /><br />Some further trivia....."The Danish Girl star Alicia Vikander and The Amazing Spider-Man’s Emma Stone have both been lined up to play a young Agatha Christie in biopics being developed at rival Hollywood studios.<br /><br />According to the Hollywood Reporter, Vikander has been approached by Sony to play the celebrated crime author in her formative years as a “proto-feminist” unhappy with traditional wife-and-mother expectations. Stone, on the other hand, has been pencilled in for Paramount’s take on Christie’s “missing” 11 days in 1926 – a subject already covered in Michael Apted’s 1979 film Agatha, which starred Vanessa Redgrave and Dustin Hoffman.<br /><br />The resurgence of interest in Christie follows a flurry of interest from film-makers in getting film versions of the writer’s work off the ground. A forthcoming adaptation of her 1934 yarn Murder on the Orient Express has Kenneth Branagh in the director’s chair and Angelina Jolie in the cast, is due to start shooting this summer and will be released in 2017. A version of the 1939 mystery And Then There Were None was successfully aired on BBC1 at Christmas, and leading British film compnay Working Title are moving ahead with a feature film adaptation to be directed by The Imitation Game’s Morten Tyldum. However, a Julian Fellowes-scripted adaptation of Crooked House appears to have stalled, after an announcement in 2012 that Possession director Neil LaBute was on board."<br /><br />As footnote...I;m saddened at the death of the legendary Fats Domino.
