She played nuns a couple of times. How about Anne Shirley?

That’s true. The other obvious go to actress for a nun character would be Deborah Kerr, but I’d rather use her for a more important character (maybe a Tully or Septa Lemore, who btw might work as Loretta as well). I must say I’m not familiar with Anne Shirley’s filmography at all, but she might work. I’m considering Anita Louise as well.

Loretta Young? Lord knows that was her schtick….or do you want someone blonder and younger?

OMG, that would be hilarious but I’m afraid it would only work if you know Loretta’s background. Plus I was considering casting a young Loretta (around 1928) as another character, given Loretta’s story of giving-birth-to-a-child-conceived-in-problematic-circumstances-and-whose-parentage-was-kept-hidden-until-said-child-was-an-adult. But tragically-died-before-her-time-in-mysterious-circumstances Natalie Wood is also an option for that character.

williamholdens answered your question:i still don’t have the instant messaging thingy,…

yep. apparently you have to be infected by someone, although in their faq it says everybody will get them in the next couple of weeks (they could just make it easier and give everybody the damn thing, right?)

i see, i don’t even understand how tumblr updates their website, with normal websites you just need to update once and then the changes apply to everyone since, you know, it’s a general update? how do they manage to do it differently, it takes effort to be this inefficient. anyway if any of you guys wants to chat feel free to infect me, i have nothing to do right now

travllingbunny reblogged your photoset:Asoiaf Old Hollywood fancast ↝ Lauren Bacall as…

For Asha, how about Barbara Stanwyck? Although the coloring is wrong (but maybe that could be less of a problem if there are some black-and-white pictures where her hair appears darker), and finding shorter hair pictures may be a problem for all actresses of that era, she has the right persona and the right look – sexy but not conventionally beautiful, with a nose similar to how Asha’s is described.

I hadn’t thought about Barbara but thinking about it for a minute that’s probably as close to Asha as I’m going to get, persona-wise (and yes the nose! I would hate to choose somebody without the right nose honestly, nose representation is important u_u). Pre-code Barbara would work especially well, or at least it would be easier to find fitting pics, she used to have shorter and darker hair –> 

(I do darken/lighten the hair a bit if necessary, because I’m anal about these details, but it feels kind of wrong to do that tbh. I did it with Lauren too, and am going to do it with the next fancast). It’s really a matter of choosing the right picture after all, for instance, this would work a lot better for Asha than Barbara’s more usual 40′s glamour shots: 

(On that matter, it’s a pity I’ve already used Paulette Goddard because some of her photos would work for Asha too. And she has The Nose: https://lauri-l.music.blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/5a97c-modern-times_goddardknife.png )
