AS SEEN ON TV: MARY MAGDALENE

For the penultimate spotlight in the "As Seen On TV" salute to the 1977 mini-series 'Jesus Of Nazareth', Mary Magdalene is featured - a woman who has come under renewed scrutiny in recent years by Biblical revisionists and theorists. I have to give credit to director Franco Zeffirelli for not casting a young beauty in the role as has happened before. (Claudia Cox, Simone Bendix, Debra Messing) This Mary Magdalene is still attractive in middle-age, but you can see the wear of the years upon her.

BCnU!
