The movie The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex was on TCM this morning. I like the way Bette Davis portrayed Queen Elizabeth in it and put off my errands until the movie was over.

What a performance by BD!!  She even incorporated some of Elizabeth's mannerisms such as nervous hands!!

Bette Davis also played Queen Elizabeth I in the movie The Virgin Queen.  A very young Joan Collins was in it.
