RE: Who should play Tarbell?

Joe and Gene,

You are correct. The bust on the left was the one I bought at Prairie Archives. The bust on the right is the one my mother gave me shortly after my father died. It is the bust which sparked my interest in Lincoln.

Joe, as for your choice, you may be on to something.

Marjorie Main

Ida Tarbell

Not sure about Julia Roberts or Cate Blanchett, but Jessica Lange would also be a good choice. And Roger, as much as I love Meryl Streep, I could never see her as MTL.

Rob

Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom.
