Finnish Princess Anna use to be a Guy!

I think Princess Anna character is suppose to be a Transgendered character.

When I took a Medieval History Class in college, I remember the professor mentioning how European constantly arrange marriages between countries and Providences. There couple of cases in which very feminine men were force to live their entire lives as a women once they hit puberty in order to force upon royal marriages. These arrange marriages are among princesses and princes, so basically the brothers of Kings. With the makeup to keep up appearances, most people would never had known the princess was a guy. The prince will bed the chambermaid for children.

Well, that explains the voice.

C'mon! You KNOW that voice had to be a put-on. Joely Richardson is Natasha Richardson's sister (RIP). NO WAY she is trans-gendered.

I was thinking the same thing whenever I sit back and play the movie. I also didn't know that Finland never had any royalty.

The voice was a put-on, possibly dubbed. And she (Joely Richardson) is definitely a girl. She is (or was) Natasha Richardson's sister. If you want to see her as she really is, catch "The Last Mimzy" or "Fallen Angel", both movies less than 10 years old.

I actually think it's really her voice. As I posted in another thread, she uses that voice again briefly in "Return to Me." And in THAT movie one can she definitely is NOT and was never a guy in any way shape or form.

Jamie Lee Curtis can also do a deeper voice.

The original poster's post has to be the most moronic thing I've ever read.

That remark was stupid to say the least. That said I found Joely Richardson very unappealing ( especially when compared to Camille Coduri). I have seen her in a few things and she is the least talented member of the Redgrave/ Richardson Family. Obviously Natasha was better looking, but Natasha, mom Vanessa ( although I detest her politics), Aunt Lynn ( my favorite), and grandparents Michael Redgrave and Rachel Kempson were superior actors.
