Aw, I love Nancy too, even though I agree about the terrible hairstyle. It's like they went out of their ways to make Idina more unattractive, so that Amy would look better (well, even better). I think she's my favorite Idina movie role too, almost tied with Maureen (and maybe Vera? LOL).
To answer your question on my last comment, I'm actually neither from the US nor from the UK, but from Brazil. :) I know there's been like a gazillion versions of Chess already, but I prefer to stick with the PBS one.
Sheesh, what is it about Brazilians that are drawn to me? I have three really great online friends who are Brazilian, one of them is one of my best friends. I'm glad Idina gets exposure over there haha.
Actually it's my Brazilian friend (or "sister") who flipped out when she found out Idina was in Enchanted. I raved about Idina for weeks after seeing Wicked, and then one day she sent me a message going, "OMGGGG, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME IDINA MENZEL WAS THE WEIRD GIRL IN ENCHANTED?" She for some reason does not find Idina gorgeous (*twitches slightly*), and after I saw Nancy in that dress and hairstyle I was like, "Jeez, no wonder you think she's ugly." :P (Even though I'm rambling, I must mention this irony: she gets told she looks just like "the weird girl in Enchanted" quite often. She heartily disagrees, but it's still funny.)
The PBS one is the best staged imo, and I could barely sit through that one, so you can imagine how my overall opinion of the show is. But I just love the music.
Whoa, are you serious? I find it very hard to come by Idina fans here in Brazil, haha! Guess you're lucky. :)
How can anyone not think Idina is ridiculously gorgeous is beyond me, but what can you do. My girlfriend doesn't really see the appeal too, which makes me sad, LOL.
I can sort of understand it. She's got very unusual sculpted features...I guess it's not everyone's cup of tea, as a Brit might say. :P I find her face mindbendingly gorgeous, but some people just don't see it.
