It is the same here in Canada, a lot of people teens or adults, don't know who Miranda is by name. Though when I mention some of the characters she has played they often remember her. But still there have been quite a few adults and about two or three (I know, not very much) teenagers who did know her right away so that was pretty exciting!!

yes! that sounds exiting! when people tell me they dont know who she is, i just pop out a movie list and demand that they watch them by the next time we meet, lol and most agree she is a phenomenal actress im just glad that i am obsessed with a person who has real talent and famous for how amazing she is at her craft and not for how well she knows how to work the business .. lucky for Miranda she knows how to do both

Hiyah Nyssa *squee!* another Mab fan. I just love Mab fans. To add to the convo, when I say the name Miranda Richardson people stare at me blink then I say something like Blackadder and they'r like why do I know that name or oh I remember her. So she's known round about my area (scotland obviously I dont stay all over the country but you get my point :L) but only after you offer up a few titles of what she's been in. And btw "As much as I love the posture of forced submission. Don't bother, I know you don't mean it." also one of my most fave fic quotes ever hehehehe.

Nyssa it is so cool that you tell people they have to watch one of the movies by the next time you meet!! Once I told my friend she just had to see one of Miranda's movies, and the next day when we met up she started talking about it!! The night before she had actually got the movie and watched it! I was very excited!!! It is true what you say, when people learn what roles she has played they all agree that Miranda is an outstanding actress!!

Yay another Miranda fan! Welcome, welcome. And you're already loving Mabfiction: wonderful! yaay I love the story about your writing assignment. I usually have to tell everyone who Miranda Richardson is as well. I start listing films and if they haven't seen any of them (which I am pleased to say rarely happens) I tell them to watch some or invite them over to watch.

Black and Purple, how do you get your avatar to do that ? you have to make a .gif icon. There's lots of websites that let you upload pictures and create a gif (a moving image), but you can also do it with a nice image editor if you know how. look at these animated gifs: photobucket.com/images/arwen%20gif/I didn't make them, but you get the idea.

I suppose I better introduce myself: I am elspeththequeen, but a lot of people at school call me Rita after Rita Skeeter. I have been a Miranda fan for almost three years now, after being introduced to her talent in Phantom of the Opera and she is my favorite actress (though I also like Bernadette Peters and Helena Bonham Carter). Where I live, I seem to be the only one who even knows who Miranda is besides my very awesome speech teacher. I am a huge fantasy adventure fan, and I usually side with the 'villain' of the story. I absolutley adore Queen Mab and her Old Ways, and Queenie is like my fictional best friend. I am also obsessed with Harry Potter (hence the nickname Rita) and I think personality-wise I am like a mix between Luna Lovegood and Hermione Granger.
There is probably more I could say, but I can't think of anything else at the present moment. Aw well.
