Pics from the New Anne Frank miniseries

Even though I have my doubts that the new version of "The Diary of Anne Frank" will beat out "Anne Frank: The Whole Story," I still want to see it. Unfortunately, I don't think it's been shown in America yet. At least it will be better than the 1959 version.










The actress who portays Anne (Ellie Kendrick) is actually eighteen years old. She looks so young, doesn't she?









More pics coming soon.
