Heart MRS G 2020 and the new core of 4

If anyone could think of a new MRS G for 2020 on today's FOL, who would it be?

Here are a few of my choices:

1. KIM CATTRALL (she is in her mid fifties so she'd be around CHARLOTTE's RAE age at the time, has a bubbly personality and seems quiet down to earth as a person).

2. MICHELLE PFEIFFER (she played once the teacher in the movie 'dangerous mind', she has a strong personality, seems kind but firm and i can totally see her as the girl's confidante).

3. EMMA THOMPSON (Okay, so she's British but still, she has always had strong personalities in movies, she played a nanny in 'Nanny Mcphee, and i can see totally her as a surrogate mother to the girls).

4.JULIANNE MOORE (a red haired herself and very modern kind of gal, the motherly type but also a friend to the girls and quite sensitive.).

5. SHARON STONE (okay, so she's a 'sex bomb' but i can also see her as a strong mentor to the girls, the sensitive type and a modern woman).


And finally,

6. MERYL STREEP (okay, so she's already 70, but she is also one of my favourite actresses and she'd be the best surrogate mother for the girls: modern, sensitive and strong).

I don't know any teenage actresses from today, but if i had to pick some 'young ladies' to play the girls it'll be:

1. EMILIA CLARKE as BLAIR (she seems the sensitive type who can be funny and crazy too, she's beautiful and plays blond in most of her movies, and i can totally see her as the 'rich bitch with the heart of gold').

2. EMMA WATSON as JO (okay, so she's British and doesn't look tomboyish at all, but she's got that kind of strong personality and the determination JO had, and i can see her as the one to challenge 'princess Blair' ha ha! After all, she challenged the 'Beast' on 'BEAUTY AND THE BEAST').

3. JENNIFER LAWRENCE as NAT (okay, so she's prettier than NAT, but she's funny and a team leader in most of her movies, she's strong and she can be a good friend when needed.)

4. STORM REID as TOOTIE (she's definitely the only teen i know cos i'v seen her in a few movies, and she's be the perfect one to play TOOTIE! She's a dreamer, romantic and the youngest of them all!)

PS: I know the girls i picked are in their late twenties, but they've done that in the past (think of GREASE where none of them were teenagers lol)

So, what does anybody thinks about it?

Any more ideas?

I don't like any of those older actresses and the only young actress i've heard of is Jennifer Lawrence and I don't like her either lol.

Is there an option to just have Lisa Welchel, Nancy McKeon, Kin Fields and Mindy Cohn to come back as middle aged versions of the characters like a modern Golden Girls? If so, I choose that!

I don't care how twisted, contrived or convoluted they'd come up with how they'd all live together again in their 50's, i'd swallow it no matter what...just to have them together again for a revisit would be heaven! IMO they are the ONLY ones to play those characters.

Yikes...I just Googled her and she's only 10 years older than me! Can we use Betty White as a benchmark? I'd feel much better....and younger.

I guess so. This board is a ghost town tonight. Maybe there's a FOL convention I don't know about.
