<\/a>\"\"We’ve gotten a few comments recently that got me to thinking, Who would I cast?<\/p>\n

KG:<\/p>\n

… I think Lucy Stone Mysteries would be a great movie series on the Hallmark Movies and Mysteries Channel. I wonder who could be cast as Lucy?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Esmeralda:<\/p>\n

Maybe just me, but doesn\u2019t Gladdy look\/remind anyone\u00a0of Beatrice Arthur ?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/a>\"\"Remember that actresses wear wigs all of the time, although in\u00a0the\u00a0case of a new mystery movie series, the blonde actress isn’t\u00a0wearing a curly, red wig which so many of us had expected her to wear. One actress that always comes to my mind when I read a mystery book with a strong sleuth is Martha Plimpton. Ever since I saw her in a movie way back in 1994,\u00a0I’ve thought of her as the perfect Kinsey\u00a0Millhone, Joanna Brady, or Stephanie Plum. As for Gladdy Gold, I totally agree with Esmerlada. I think Bea Arthur would have made a delightful and strong Gladdy Gold.<\/p>\n

How about you? Can you imagine who you would cast as these sleuths? If you have any ideas, please post a comment. Thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
