Actresses who have played Mary Lincoln-your favorites?

[Laurie Verge]

I have only a faint recollection of Sada Thompson in the Hal Holbrook Lincoln, but I remember some TV series that she did about the same time, and I thought she would be perfect as Mary Lincoln.

I still have not seen the Spielberg film, but I was overjoyed when I heard that Sally Field was playing the First Lady. I'm a stickler for wanting historical presenters to look like historical figures. I also know that Ms. Field has a wide range of emotions that she can play off of. How does she compare to Julie Harris?
