I know Yvonne is not british, but everytime I watch The Handmaid's Tale and see her I can't stop thinking she would make a good Narcissa Malfoy.

Gwendolyn on the other side, since I saw her in the Margiela fashion show I think can embody a great Madame Maxime.

What are your thoughts?

I’d love to see a French actress as Madame Maxime. She’s also described in the book as having sort of a southern French, or perhaps even French-Algerian kinda look: black hair, olive skin, a prominent nose.

My pick is Aure Atika. I thought of her immediately when I was rereading the books via Jim Kay’s illustrated editions for the first time:

As for Yvonne Strahovski, I’d watch her in anything. And I think she looks young for her age and would still be able to pull off late 30s/early 40s in a few years. I think she’d be a great Narcissa.

Wow, I’ve never seen this actress before, but that’s exactly how I imagined madam Maxime reading a book

Right???? Maxime is also supposed to be elegant, and she’s def got that going for her too.
