[HPFGU-Movie] Re: The Casting Game

Yes, I could SO see Rita as the "mutton dressed as lamb" type!  (Speaking as a woman in my mid-40s myself, less than a year younger than Tracey.)  There's nothing else honest about Rita -- it totally fits!  Plus I adore Tracey and always have.  (OT:  if you want to see Tracey at her unsung best, watch "I Love You To Death" [1990] which costars Kevin Kline, Joan Plowright, River Phoenix, Keanu Reeves, William Hurt, Miriam Margolyes [yes, Professor Sprout!  The first thing I saw her in, quite a small role, and she was brilliant!], and Heather Graham in a very early, barely credited role.)
 
Well, now you've sold me.  I read somewhere, perhaps on Leaky or Mugglenet, that Rita had been cast (and I'm too lazy to look up who it was), but I would love to see Tracey in that role.  One of her gifts is her ability to just disappear into a role.

So if mid-40s isn't too old for Rita, you've got that role filled.  How old
is Rita?  I rather think some of her more outrageous outfits are an
attempt to look younger than she really is...
