These pix have and odd Third Reich feel to them

-epm is right, but also...it's shot is so "flat" that it looks like Laura is part of the poster. Is anyone sure that she really spoke?

EPM, that's what I was after with the Riefenstahl.

Kvatch, if you've ever heard her speak, I think that's impossibble to determine.

She's often reminded me of one of Disney's last generation of animatronics.

D'oh! I completely missed your reference in the posting.

Good comment about the animatronics, but she's no dimwit, I'm sure. I'd really like to be a fly on the wall in the royal suite... bet it'd interesting to hear what she's really thinking.

I don't think she's a dimwit, but her public persona is so false.

(Let me say, I don't think she's brilliant, but she definitely does the reading in the family.)
