“Diana”: Naomi Watts Has The Dazzle
Nigel Andrews comments on the new movie about her: ‘”Diana” proves what we suspected when “The Queen” was followed by “The Iron Lady.” A race of actresses, trained in identity theft, is moving in on the British ruling class. Dame Helen Mirren can no longer be distinguished from H.M. Elizabeth II. A hair-curling paper could not be slipped between Meryl Streep and Margaret Thatcher. Now Naomi Watts as the “people’s princess†has the walk, the talk, the stork figure and the blend of diffidence and dazzle that made Princess Di.’
