Really? I honestly don't see it, especially not in the picture here, where she is ostensibly trying to be like Grace. Grace definitely had the "ice queen" thing going but I always thought there was always sort of an extra edge about her, like she *just might* do something really shocking.

IMO, GP tries to package herself like Grace, but her features are absolutely lumpen and homely in comparison. She also doesn't bring much of anything to the screen, unless you count slouching around with a wan look on her face. It was off-putting for me to see her in the shoot because all I could think about was how smug "Gwynnie" would be about being a supposed Grace successor. I think she seriously believes her own PR in that regard.
