Thanks.
Something else my niece stumbled upon.
Am I the only one that wasn't aware of this?
Actress Claudia Christian, who plays Susan Ivanova on Babylon 5, has been suggested as a potential candidate; Weber says "She’s much shorter than Honor, but so are most women, and I think she could handle the physicality... I think it’s more important to have someone who can portray Honor’s character and command style than it is to have someone who is six feet two inches tall." Weber's concern is that the director would push Christian to re-create Ivanova's character while playing Honor and "Ivanova’s command style is totally different from Honor’s."[6]
I did, indeed, say that. Please note, however, that it was quite some few years ago, and I fear Claudia (as myself) has aged in the interim. In other words, I'm afraid we need someone younger than Claudia for the role, especially if they're thinking about multiple movies over a period of several years.
Now, I can think of quite a few other Honorverse females Claudia might well fit . . . .
