"To Sherlock Holmes she is always the woman." So begins
I am a Sherlock Holmes fan. I married a man who was a Sherlock Holmes fan. We spent many, many hours watching the Basil Rathbone movies.
Heck, my Senior Paper in high school was a character study of Holmes. Rathbone pops into my head on hearing the name "Holmes," but I've liked other portrayals. Ian McKellen was wonderful as "'Mr. Holmes." I like Benedict Cumberbatch on principle, though I think I only saw one episode of "Sherlock." Jonny Lee Miller is a favorite, and I thoroughly enjoyed "Elementary." One the world has been deprived of is the rumored Hugh Laurie as Holmes with Stephen Fry as Watson. Imagine how glorious that would be.
