elle fanning as catherine is something that's personal to me, she played her too iconicly. desperately waiting for season 3!

[Glimmmerra]

She is absolutely hilarious and gorgeous in The Great, one of the funniest shows out there... if you love raunchy comedy, it has amazing writing and an excellent cast. Love that show SO much!!!

[luvyou-baby]

her show “the great” is very amusing & actually funny. i highly recommend watching it. if you like f@#’up comedy this is it

[missjane]

Elle has very good “dork” energy. The Great is a really entertaining show.

[piccalillipit]

Her show *THE GREAT* is absolutely brilliant - totally recommend it to anyone with a sense of humour - more of it is true than you might think...

The Fanning Women are excellent actresses. I have watched their careers from the beginning & am very happy to see their success. They also have become lovely Women, both inside & out. Brava, Ladies!

I binged watch "The Great" and it's so fun and weird and the production design, costumes everything is very entertaining. Beware you will get hooked and cry when it ends. Waiting for season #3 like a kid for Santa!

Elle Fanning as Grace Kelly would be an Oscar-winning performance

[barbiquearea]

Fun fact. In a W Magazine interview a year ago, Elle was asked which actor she thought could play her. She said she could see Lucas Hedges and Timothee Chalamet playing her, but especially Timmy.

Kyle MacLachlan needs to do a "Meanwhile" segment! Make it happen Stephen! 😀

[laalaastl]

Kyle MacLachlan 100%. It's not even a question. When he was on the show, he could have traded places with Stephen, and we wouldn't have been able to tell. He's a cinch to play Stephen on screen!

I might have to get Hulu now just to watch this, what a genuine human being that’s a rarity #goals

[kasondaleigh]

I like her, she is very genuine and so beautiful!

[sajid-marth]

Her smile has a smile that can heal the wounds 😊

[NewMessage]

I'd pay good money to see Kyle get through a Meanwhile preamble in character.

Kidman played Kelly in GRACE OF MONACO (2014).

[bowi]

We shouldn't be worried about the faces we make. 😅 She's right!

[laestrella]

The Great is the original Bridgerton and is outstanding. Unique and deserves to become a classic.

[EmpyreanLightASMR]

Um, I was about to scroll down to the comments to say she looks exactly like an actress right out of the 40s silver screen age, one of my favorites and then as I'm doing so, she says "Grace Kelly". So happy haha

[jaredvlogs]

I saw her in "rainy day in new york" and was personally very unimpressed with her acting, but in "the great" she is amazing
