To take my mind off the lamentable fact that I'm currently being stamped as Queen Elizabeth I at princesse_stamp---because in what universe am I most like Queen Elizabeth I?!---I've been pondering who I would cast in a production of Pride and Prejudice. As an added challenge, I'm trying to find actors whose ages are as close to the characters' ages as possible.

So far, I'm liking Holliday Grainger for Elizabeth and Carey Mulligan for Jane, but I'm not sure who I'd cast for Darcy...or Lydia. Any thoughts? Suggestions? Vehement objections?
