Vivian Leigh, who played Scarlet O'Hara, was a British actress, and did wonderfully as a Southern belle. There apparently are similarities.
I seem to be missing something here. I can't remember Anthony Hopkins being in "Easy Rider" and he isn't on the cast list in Wikipaedia.I had no idea Anthony Hopkins was British.
I watched "Easy Rider" the other night and it seems he did a very good job of playing an American.

Mr Hopkins is Welsh. It doesn't much matter to the rest of us Brits but it appears to do so to the Welsh.
I watched the premiere of the new Halle Berry series "Extant" last night. I thought it was pretty good. Which means it will probably be cancelled after a dozen episodes.
Is anybody watching "Orange is the New Black"? I didn't watch it last year, but after some friends talked about it, I decided to check it out and got hooked. I've seen the first season and am on episode 9 of the second season. It's got great writing and many of the actors were on one or more versions of "Law and Order."
Let's face it. Sunday afternoon there is nothing, I repeat nothing worth watching on TV. Well, maybe sports for the men and women who enjoy them.
So The Pirate came across "Mars Attacks". I can't remember the last time I laughed so much for so long. Every single cliché is in that movie. Including the little side room off the Oval Office where the President has illicit trysts. Every known and unknown name in Hollywood appears in this movie. You find yourself trying to identifying all of them. Even Godzilla made an appearance. So if you are looking for good laughs, and have nothing else to watch, make it a point to watch this movie the next time you see it on the schedule. And if you are watching it with someone, see who can identify the most celebrities. (I won! Only because I am older and remember more than The Pirate.)
Love Mars Attacks.
I'm still very intrigued with Extant.
We watch the Hallmark channel religiously which currently features Cedar Cove, (just about the world's best soap opera) Chopped, HGTV, and Law and Order, SVU and Criminal intent. We LOVED Downton Abbey and are looking forward to the next season.
Right now I have been faithfully following Last Dance In Halifax. It is a British import on PBS. As usual it is a great show. The Brits know how to do it right. And I am patiently waiting for the next season of Doc Martin. I think that show is hilarious!!
I am not one to watch the "Housewives of" shows. But I have been kind of watching The Housewives of London. Some of the women are American transplants and the others British. One of the women so wants to be accepted as British that she gave up her American citizen citizenship and became a Brit. The American women are so funny in their attempts in trying to pass off as a Brit.
Fortunately our TV channels will show a repeat of the last episodes of any Brit imports before a new season starts. To tell you the truth, as much as I love Downton Abby I need a refresher course as I can't remember the last show of last season.
