Marquette, Michigan – In celebration of March as Women’s History Month, Peter White Public Library presents the film The Queen on Wednesday, March 27 at 6:00 pm in the library’s community room.
The Queen stars Helen Mirren in her best actress Academy Award winning role as Queen Elizabeth II and Michael Sheen as Prime Minister Tony Blair. The film won 2 Golden Globe awards and received 6 Oscar nominations.
Released in 2006, the film is an intimate, revealing and sometimes humorous behind-the-scenes glimpse at the interaction between the queen and her prime minister following the death of Princess Diana. The two struggled to reach a compromise between what was a private tragedy for the Royal family and the public’s demand for an overt display of mourning.
Viewers are welcome to bring a take-out supper and enjoy this film series featuring Best Leading Actress Oscar winners portraying real women.
There is no admission charge thanks to sponsorship by the Friends of the Peter White Public Library. For more information visit www.pwpl.info or call 226-4318.
