The Iron Lady and Pan Am

I've always been interested in Margaret Thatcher. I find her title as 'The Iron Lady' far more impressive than being the first female prime minster of the UK (although that in itself is remarkable). I remember reading an infamous quote of hers, during a conversation she had with former president of the USA, George Bush Sr.. He was hesitant about getting involved with Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990, to which Thatcher, who viewed the invasion as a clear act of tyranny responded, "this is no time to get wobbly!" Clear. Precise. Direct. British. And now, Meryl Streep is starring in a biopic of Margaret Thatcher, entitled 'The Iron Lady' coming out in 2012. Here's the official trailer below. I can't wait.



I'm also excited for a new series premiering sometime within the next few weeks - Pan Am. Starring Christina Ricci, the series will focus on the glamorous lives of the pilots and flight attendants of Pan American World Airways in the 1960s. I'm immediately reminded of 'Mad Men', if only because of the fact that it's also a period drama set in the 1960s. Below is the official trailer.
