'Tudors' exclusive: Joely Richardson crowned Queen

by
Tags: News

Joely-Richardson_lI’m hearing Nip/Tuck’s Joely Richardson has
scored one of the hottest TV roles out there right now: Katherine Parr on
Showtime’s The Tudors.

Although unconfirmed by Showtime, a well-placed source tells me that Richardson will play Henry’s (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) last wife during Tudors’ fourth
and final season, which is slated to debut in Spring 2010.

Production on Nip/Tuck‘s final season wrapped last month, freeing Richardson up to take the gig.

A number of high profile actresses have circled the
plum part, including ****** **i*** and (as I previously reported) The X-Files’ Gillian Anderson.

Thoughts?!

    I’ve always liked her in Nip/Tuck. I’ve never seen Tudors, but I’m sure she’ll do great

    I love her on Nip/Tuck. I think she’ll do well. Hey at least it’s not Susan Boyle. lol

    That’s actually a great match. She can be interesting and sympathetic but is older. Very good.

    I love Joely Richardson, but Catherine Parr was only 31 when she married Henry.

    It should have been Anderson’s triumphant return to television. Oh well.

    Isn’t Joley Richardson on that awful, awful Fox “sitcom” ‘Til Death’ (w/ that barbaric, unfunny Jewish goon Brad Garrett) that keeps getting renewed and retooled, renewed and retooled?
    *** Edit: I’m sorry. I mixed Richardson w/ Fisher. My bad. But seriously, though… Brad Garrett needs to be kicked to death to Hell. :-)

    KJIH-TV, considering your obvious level of intelligence, you should be living in a cave, not perusing the internet.

    Its a shame the show wont continue on telling the stories of Mary and Elizabeth – now THATS some exciting stuff! I guess its too expensive to produce, as Rome was.
