The Beauty of Retrospect, March Actress Edition: Rachel Weisz

I last featured Rachel Weisz on this blog in November 2014, and she's continued to play edgy roles in the movies since then.

Her roles in the past four years and change include Alice Manning, a woman who changes identities and professions when it suits her, in the 2016 thriller movie Complete Unknown, and the eponymous title role in 2017's My Cousin Rachel, about a woman whose late husband's cousin suspects her of murdering her husband.

In 2018, she starred in The Favourite, playing Sarah Churchill, the confidante of Queen Anne of England and the real power behind the throne.  The movie is a comedy-drama about those who challenge Sarah for the queen's affection and approval.  Anne was the first monarch of the modern United Kingdom under the Act of Union passed by the English Parliament in 1707.   

Rachel Weisz turned 49 earlier this month (March 2019), and I am certain her greatest roles are yet to come.

That's it for my month-long look back at actresses I've previously featured before.  Coming in April - an all-new series devoted to beautiful women in music! :-)
