 For those that have read "Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln" by Doris Kearns Goodwin may be interested to know that Sally Field has been cast as Mary Todd Lincoln and Liam Neeson as Abraham Lincoln in the movie version of this book.

Field has just won an Emmy for her work on a TV show which I don't watch. She also appears in TV ads for a monthly one dose osteoporosis drug. You may remember the ad, the one where she pouts at the mirror while she struggles to decide between wearing one of two dresses.  That stupid ad will never convince me to take the drug some day or any day, but that's another topic. 

I don't have any more information in reference to the director, script writer, music score composer or when shooting will begin or estimated release of the movie but I defintely want to see it.  I'm guessing late 2008 or into 2009 before we see this movie.

Just a thought--wonder if they will be needing Civil War reenactors for any scenes.
