So I usually don't choose real life actors and actresses to use as motivation in my stories, but I started it with this one and have decided to continue it, just for this story. Besides, it's kind of fun to picture my characters in my head and then see who I think could 'play that part' well.
In this chapter, we meet Evie's mum, Veturia. And who better to play her than Katharine Hepburn? She's one of my favorite actresses of all time!
I chose the name because the original Veturia was a Roman matron who supposedly saved Rome from being taken over by the Volscians when her son was expelled from the city and joined with them. She confronted her son and brought along his wife and children to plead her case. It was successful and Coriolanus left Rome. Veturia was honored for her courage, patriotism and strength. (Note the contrast to Medeana and her name!) You can read more about Veturia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veturia
