(Okay okay, everyone knows that Jane Austen stories can make great movies. But isn't it insane that Love & Friendship isn't locked up for an Oscar nomination? What was everyone thinking this year?)

I can't unsee the young Lansbury resemblance after the photo that was posted yesterday. And this hairdo is reminding me of Harvey Girls.
