Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: If you were going to choose an actress to play the Nurse role in a modern version of Romeo and Juliet, who would you choose?

Kathy Bates

Kathy Najimy

Who would I choose?

Myself, I've always wanted to play that role!

Kathy Bates would be a good bet as well.

Robin Williams! LOL

Seriously, my first thought was Kathy Bates

Dame Judi Dench would be perfect.

Neat question! Got me thinking. I do like the Kathy Bates suggestions, but want to go other places like with Emma Thompson, or how about Nicole Kidman? Very much against type for NK but intriguing nonetheless. Who would you choose as Juliet if NK were The Nurse?It would have to be an "unknown" face and impossibly young as well. Usually one thinks of the nurse as a comfortably plump figure slightly ineffectual and torn every which way by events, but devoted to Juliet. Whoopi Goldberg would be fun to see as well. Queen Latifah. Now there we go! On a roll here...Oprah!
