Three Ladies I Would Love To Hang Out With And Drink Several Bottles of Wine
It just recently dawned on me that so many of my favorite actors/actresses are from the UK.
Now, that's not to say I don't have favorite American actors/actresses, because I do. I have a lot of them. But there is something about the way the British deliver their lines that appeals to me; especially in comedy because their delivery is usually serious and very dry, which makes it hilariously funny.
But make no mistake, the Brits are outstanding in dramatic roles as well.
When you think about it, there is so much exceptional talent that comes out of the UK, whether it be actors/actresses, musicians, artists, singers, or writers.
The UK seems to give birth to a great deal of creativity.

Some of my own personal favorite British actors/actresses are:
Men: Tom Courtenay, Anthony Hopkins, Ben Kingsley, Steve Coogan, John Hurt, and Ian McKellen.
Women: Julie Walters, Angela Lansbury, Emily Blunt, Brenda Blethyn, and Tracey Ullman.
However, my ultimate fantasy would be to meet up with my top three favorite British actresses, who I could watch in movies over and over and over again, and never tire of watching them because each one is a genius at shapeshifting, completely changing themselves into another character both physically and emotionally, until you forget who you're looking at.
And each of these ladies excels in both comedy and drama; keeping you riveted whenever they're on the screen, even when they're not speaking, because you can tell what their character is feeling just by looking at their eyes. Their eyes project anything and everything you need to know.
I also admire how they are still very much active in the movie industry; miraculously not affected by ageism.
They just keep going on.
Meet my three favorite British ladies, who in my opinion, are positively BRILLIANT!
Not only do I think these ladies are extremely talented as actresses, but I've also seen them in countless interviews and have always admired how grounded and unpretentious they seem to be.
And they also look like they would be SO MUCH fun to casually hang out with; drinking wine; telling dirty jokes; and laughing. All three seem fun and feisty, which I adore.
So yes, if I could somehow manifest a fantasy, it would be to spend a whole day with Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, and Helen Mirren; eating delicious food; drinking delicious wine; sharing delicious stories; and laughing our asses off.
I would be in AWE!
I mean, just picture it. Me, and these three incredible dames...
