Anne Hathaway has admitted to channelling Nigella's 'sensuality' for her White Queen in Alice in Wonderland. But she's only blown the whistle on the greatest source of character inspiration in modern cinema
Aside from the boycott drama and the mixed reviews, Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland has drawn attention for one reason: Anne Hathaway's portrayal of the White Queen. Apparently, it's based entirely on Nigella Lawson. Tim Burton hinted as much last month, noting Lawson's ability to look "really nuts", and Hathaway herself confirmed the rumours this week by praising Lawson's "passion" and "sensuality".
To the uninitiated, all this Nigella talk might seem like nothing more than a cheap ploy to get a few more dads to go to the pictures. But in reality Burton and Hathaway are simply tapping into a long history of movie characters based on television chefs. It's a little-known fact that almost...
