I'm not sure if it's because that series stayed closer to the original novels, or if it's because of Hickson herself. Either way, I agree that the others did bring something to the role. I just have a soft spot for Hickson. And I love your knitting project - gorgeous!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-46181677082040390792017-04-10T00:40:08.897-07:002017-04-10T00:40:08.897-07:00It's good to hear from someone much better acq...It's good to hear from someone much better acquainted with the Marple canon than I. I was trying to learn the actresses' heights but couldn't find McKenzie's. McKenzie appears to be the shortest. Hickson was 5'5" while McEwan was a shade over 5'4", although Hickson just seems much taller.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-29820252135070713532017-04-10T00:25:40.149-07:002017-04-10T00:25:40.149-07:00I probably like Christie as a writer more than you...I probably like Christie as a writer more than you Cathy but have never liked the Marple books at all whereas I quite like all the TV adaptations. My favourite of these 3 is probably Geraldine McEwan and for the reasons you state - she's closest to the look I have always had in my mind - Joan Hickson always seemed a bit bigger than my imagined Miss Marple - but you're right that those adaptations are nice and short and stick closer to the original storylines. There are a couple of the Julia McKenzie ones that are not even Miss Marple stories (they've shoe-horned her in to Christie's non-series stories).Bernadettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641617609801125707noreply@blogger.com
