Although I have not had *near* the exposure to her that Moyra has, I have been able to form *some* opinions about Mira. IMHO, she is dignified but warm, intelligent, well-spoken, gentle and caring, but not a conventional "actress" character at all. She has her own very well formed opinions about some things and has no desire to try to conform or be mainstream. I also get the sense that she is utterly uncompromising when it comes to her principles or to her art. So no, she didn't give us that "cheesecake glamor shot". She showed us a small peek into her soul and that image *is* serious, a bit turbulent and a tinge haunted. The message says, "If you're with the Spice Girls set, don't even think about it!"

But then again, "we see what we want to see". Everybody will probably see something different. That's my tuppence.
