Anna’s Going Back To Blighty And It Friels So Good!

I overheard this little piece of gossip at the Cannes Film Festival on the weekend, that Anna Friel is heading back to the UK to play Holly Golightly in London’s West End and if all goes well, she might well make the move a permanent one, or so I’m told… Oo er, this could be a wise choice for you Anna my dear!

2009 got off to a pretty bad start for the Lancashire lass when her show Pushing Daisies, was axed by the ABC Network here in the US after its second season, and now rumor has it she is said to be considering quitting Tinseltown for good… Shock, Horror!

Friel will start a run as the classic heroine in a production of Breakfast at Tiffany’s this September, and all eyes will be watching to see whether she can match the role made famous in the film by Audrey Hepburn. No pressure there then, eh love!

Even though I think Anna is a great actress (now I’m trying to be nice), I reckon this role is going to be a tough one to pull off! Well considering she’s hardly set Hollywood on fire (so far) and the fact she’s still a big star in Britain, I’m thinking it could be a good move for her and hubby David Thewlis to give Britain another go.

But let’s hope the British press “Go-lightly” on Anna as there’s sure to be some “Backlash at Tiffany’s” when the curtain goes up this coming Autumn… And I’ll be sure to keep you all posted!
