Subject: Unfair

Written By: Gabble Ratchet on 01/16/09 at 6:48 am

Dame Helen Mirren has won all these Baftas, Golden Globes and Oscars for playing the Queen, and she's only done it once. Meanwhile, Queen lookalike Jeanette Charles has been doing it for years, and she hasn't got so much as a pat on the back. Once again, it's one rule for Dames, and another rule for bank manager's wives who bear a passing resemblance to the reigning monarch.

Jeanette Charles has played the Queen in many roles in numerous films and TV shows, including The Rutles' All You Need Is Cash, National Lampoon's European Vacation, Austin Powers in Goldmember and The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!.

She also appeared as a semi-regular in Spike Milligan's Q series on BBC Television.

It would be featured on tv.

I think she appeared in The Goodies as well.
