[Mrs. Lex Luthor]

Thanks Carol; Kate wouldn't be a good actress for that role. They would have to make her pretty hideous 

 Kate is to beautiful for that role. lol once you described poor Merope Riddle.

Love,
Red

largely introduced in HBP.  She gives birth to Tom at the orphanage
and dies shortly after the birth, but with enough time to say "I hope
he looks like his papa." (HBP, 249)  <snip> I don't picture any
actress I know playing Merope though... I just picture her having long
dark hair, at least to tell you how I visualize her.

Carol adds:

Maybe Red will remember her better as Merope Gaunt, who was ridiculed
by her brother Morfin for watching "that Muggle" (Tom Riddle Sr.) out
the window. Poor Merope, as the passage Charlotte quoted indicates,
was no beauty. In "The House of Gaunt" (HBP), she's described as
wearing a ragged gray dress, having "lank" hair and "a plain,
pale,
rather heavy face," Her eyes, like her brother Morfin's, "stare.
.. .
in opposite directions" (205). She understands Parseltongue, but we
never hear her speak it. She's the one who wore Slytherin's locket
(her father nearly strangles her with it), Right before Tom's birth,
she sells it to Caractacus Burke, the old skinflint, for ten galleons.

I doubt very much that any casting director would suggest Kate
Winslett for that role.

Carol, who thinks that HBP, like DH, should have been in two parts to
get in all the Pensieve memories
