The Good Wife as Erzebet?

I had a flash of inspiration watching Julianna Margulies on The Good Wife last Sunday; she would make a great Erzebet.  So, how about it?  Folks on the Good Wife and Julianna Margulies, contact me, and let's see if we have a project.  If nothing else, we know Erzebet was indeed a good wife, and the parallels would be really interesting!

Dolls from Erzebet's Time
