**A Tale Of Two Mother Teresa's: On the brink of Vatican sainthood just announced, holy healer or 'hell's angel'? Featuring a conversation with the British actress who reenacts the life of the controversial legend on screen in The Letters, Juliet Stevenson. And who remarks when challenged as to why she agreed as an atheist to portray a woman with whom she has multiple disagreements, "You don't 'not' play Lady Macbeth because it's not a good idea to advocate homicide as a way of advancing your husband's career." Along with excerpts from Christopher Hitchens' 1994 investigative documentary, Mother Teresa: Hell's Angel. Stevenson also shares thoughts about first discovering her power of creative self-expression through rage; and deploring the parts offered to older actresses, if at all, as involving "carrying trays putting lamb chops in front of the leading man."
