The momentous life and tragic death of Diana, Princess of Wales, seems to never grow old for Hollywood.

From Kristen Stewart to Emma Corrin, here are nine ladies who have — or will — play Lady Di.

Naomi Watts – “Diana”
This 2013 film didn’t get great reviews, but it does feature Naveen Andrews as a heart surgeon that Diana had an affair with, so it has that going for it.

This 1998 TV movie tells the story of the princess’ last year of life, from her romantic relationships to her battle with the press.
