Morwen Eledhwen (443 F.A.-approx. 500 F.A.) is the daughter of Baragund of the House of Bëor. A teenager at the Dagor Bragollach she eventually makes it to Dor-Lómin where she marries Húrin, the young lord of the House of Hador, with whom she bore three children: Túrin, Urwen (named Lalaith) and Nienor. Húrin is captured after the Nirnaeth Arnoediad and Dór-Lomin is invaded so Morwen decides to have Túrin sent to Doriath for his own safety, but does not go herself as she is pregnant and her own pride keeps her from humbling herself to a guest, not even that of a King. For 20 years Morwen and Nienor dwell in their home the Easterlings forestalled by their fear of Morwen and of her dealings with the Elves. They eventually leave for Doriath but Túrin has been gone for 10 years, now living under the name Agarwaen/Mormegil/Thurin in Nargothrond. After the fall of Nargothrond Morwen and Nienor go to find Túrin, if at the least to bury him, but are waylaid by Glaurung, causing Morwen to be lost in the woods. Four years later, Húrin, who was released by Morgoth after Túrin and Nienor took their own lives, finds Morwen at Túrin's gravestone overlooking Cabed Naeramarth. She dies that night and Húrin buries her at the same spot.
Morwen has the Bëorian looks, primarily her dark hair, but also has a pair of bright eyes. Described as tall and her children Túrin and Nienor inherited her height; the latter was initially mistaken for an Elf when Morwen journeyed to Nargothrond to find Túrin. Túrin in particular greatly resembles her in looks and in manner, though he also possesses a quick temper which his mother shows less of.
For SilmFilm, this will likely be a two-person cast role, one for a younger Morwen where she appears as a young woman during Beren and Lúthien to the first half of The Children of Húrin and an older woman in the second half after the move to Doriath up to her death.

Age: 32
Height: 5'9"
Roles: Ree Dolly in Winter's Bone, Raven Darkholme/Mystique in X-Men, Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games, Tiffany Maxwell in Silver Linings Playbook
While not particularly imperious, Lawrence was able to bring a certain amount of gravitas to her roles as Katniss and Tiffany, particularly in the latter case where she played a character who was meant to be at least a decade her senior (the role was originally written for Anne Hathaway).
Elizabeth McGovern

Age: 61
Height: 5'8"
Roles: Jeannine in Ordinary People, Deborah in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Lady Marguerite Blankeney in The Scarlet Pimpernel, Lady Cora Crawley in Downton Abbey
I'm primarily familiar with McGovern through Downton Abbey, but her Cora frequently shows nerves of steel (a good example of this is when she sacks a nanny for bullying her granddaughter Sybbie without raising her voice) and isn't above being cheeky. She's also a singer-songwriter as the frontman for the band Sadie and the Hotheads.
