It's true, she was offered the part. I agree it would have
been wonderful to see her up there, and to be back in the
public eye in a huge way. But I don't think she could have
played the part well simply because she's not soft-spoken...
The part did call for a lot of exaggerated gentleness that
she may not have physically been able to portray any more.
Still.......just imagine......
