First Look: Naomi Watts as the Princess of Wales in 'Diana'
It's quite surprising that it took so long. But it's finally here. A film on the People's Princess, or the Princess of Wales, Diana stars Aussie Naomi Watts as the most photographed woman in the world.
Whether Watts carries off the role with as much style, poise and charisma as Diana herself remains to be seen, but after some noteworthy performances, especially recently in The Impossible, she's a pretty good bet and will hopefully do the film the justice it deserves.
