Most definitely a great picture!!! Joely Richardson as Narcissa. She is 
British, with electric blue eyes and long blonde hair. The 5'9" 
Richardson would be a great arm decoration for the 5'11" Jason Isaacs. 
On a sidenote: An accomplished Thespian from a royal theatrical family 
(Redgrave). She has the flexibility to play haughty and arrogant 
(Maulkin Scene), elegant dispondancy (Spinner's End) and maternal 
concern (DH - "The Flaw In The Plan"). 

Would be great casting!
