Actresses who have played Mary Lincoln-your favorites?

[Tom Emery]

Obviously, it's been a few years, but I really didn't like Mary Tyler Moore's portrayal. If memory serves me right (and sometimes it doesn't), that was in a 1988 miniseries.

I think Sam Waterson was Abraham in that, and I didn't care for his portrayal, either.

In the recent National Geographic TV depiction of Killing Lincoln, I didn't like Mary's portrayal in that one, either. There wasn't much resemblance to Mary.

I'm with all of you; Julie Harris stood out. I'm also with earlier posts; a Mary Lincoln movie, if done correctly, would be something to see.

On a related note, I remember Gregory Peck was Lincoln in the 1980s miniseries The Blue and The Gray. He was effective, or at least I thought he was.
