Why did they get an English-speaking Canadian actress to play the German-speaking young Maria Altmann? She doesn't look like a young Helen Mirren, nor is she from Austria or Germany. She is amazing, but it seems like a random casting decision.
shareI thought that she was perfect for the part. She's an excellent actress and did a great job. An to me she did look a bit like a young Helen Mirren as Maria.
shareBecause it's acting? It's not reality.
sharewell, she looks more like Helen M than Jessica Chastain does. also, I think her ACTING, not her physical similarities totally pulled it off.
plus, she's hot.
