Here's the attachment.

This is Judi Dench, a powerful actress in the role of Queen Elizabeth in the romantic comedy Shakespeare in Love movie.  :)

A.S. Rafi:
Interesting but I wonder how much non-political this course of change in history is! I like Elizabeth for her personal sacrifice; specifically for the part of damaging her marriage prospect and you know she claims herself to be married to England itself. But I admire her mother Anna Boleyn most- a key figure in the political and religious upheaval, who started English Reformation and made it all so easy for Elizabeth to be the Queen!

Shampa Iftakhar:
Every noble birth lies in a dark story. Elizabeth passed a very hard childhood and  bitter experiences formed her as strong figure. She was the daughter of Henry VIII.She was born into the royal succession. But her mother, Anne Boleyn, was executed two and a half years after her birth, and Elizabeth was declared illegitimate.She dedicated her whole life for the betterment of England.I just love her for everything she possessed. It sounds fascinating that she was a male. My feeling is that it is bit difficult to accept a female as a ruler ( i never intend to hurt male) in a male dominating society. Or it might happen that historians give color to draw attention on this issue, as they do in Shakespeare's issue.   

Tahsina:
Well Anne Boleyn helped with English Reformation but paying the price with her life - first English Queen to be publicly executed. But Elizabeth had the shrewdness to form her own life.
