How many of you knew??? (Mamma Mia related...sorry Mindy!)

[scarlett873]

Ok...I just got back after seeing Mamma Mia (the movie) for the second time.

How many of you knew that the actress who played one of Donna's friends, Rosie, was Mrs. Weasley???? I had NO idea that was her!!

AND the actor who played Bill Anderson also played Bootstrap Bill in POTC!

Have I been living under a rock? Did you guys know this?

I knew she was in the movie even before I saw it, but I didn't really recognize her until about an hour in. She's a great actress!

It took me a bit, but I figured it out. For the first 15 or 20 minutes of her appearance I just kept thinking "Who is that woman?!" She really is a very talented actress.

I've seen the movie four times and I didn't recognize either one

As soon as I read the OP thread I put the face to the character. Watched all of the movies and did not put it together until right now. Thanks for the insight.

I had to go onto imdb.com before I figured it out.

Then I imagined Molly Weasley singing "Take A Chance On Me" to Bootstrap Bill. Not a pretty sight.

I knew it was Mrs. Weasley -- but had no idea about Bootstrap!!!

I thought Bootstrap looked familiar last night when I watched POTC3.

I knew I knew her while watching the movie and almost died when I saw the credits at the end and who it was. I loved the movie and can't wait until the DVD comes out. We listen to the soundtrack in the car constantly. The girls love Dancing Queen and Mamma Mia though they will not be seeing the film anytime soon. We stopped at Walmart on the way home to get the soundtrack. I then went out the next day to get an ABBA cd with Waterloo on it! I have been so tempted to go see it again by myself which I have never done before but I think I'll be waiting until DVD time!

That is so funny

I also didn't realize they were in the movie.

not to mention the guy whose singing killed the credibility played James Bond. So I guess he had a Licence to Kill ABBA's music.

This was rather silly.

I laugh everytime he starts singing. He's always got this "I'm gonna kill you" look on his face which just adds to the voice

Didn't suprise me, Julie Walter's been in quite a few films here, but mainly quite a few UK TV comedies.
