杨洁导演在筹拍《西游记》时，并不是很想将“女儿国国王”的角色，交给“白骨精”的扮演者杨春霞，理由是她的容貌不符合吴承恩在原著中对女儿国国王的描述：

“眉如翠羽，肌似羊脂”。

“昭君美貌，果然是赛过西施”。

而且她本身扮演了白骨精一角，若是再扮演女儿国国王，观众会出戏。

正当她为找不到合适的演员发愁的时候，随手翻开的杂志中出现了朱琳的照片，只看一遍，她便决定，这个角色非朱琳莫属。

朱琳长了一张颇具东方古典美的鹅蛋脸，唇红齿白，端庄圣洁，简直就跟吴承恩笔下的角色神还原。

于是，她不得不违背自己对杨春霞的承诺，找到朱琳来出演了这个角色。

随着《西游记》播出，女儿国国王这个角色也成为了观众最喜爱的女性角色之一，尤其是她跟唐僧那段求而不得的爱情，成为了观众的意难平。

迄今为止，《西游记》被翻拍了无数次，更有被影化，可没有一个人能超越朱琳的版本，成为了最佳的经典。

其实，成功塑造这个角色，并不单单是美貌就完事的，还要有气质，而朱琳本人的气质，简直就跟女儿国国王的气质如出一辙。

朱琳是北京人，出生于1952年一个高知家庭，受到父母的影响，她从小就爱看书，在书海的浸润中，她身上的知性气质更浓。

在成长的过程中，她还学过舞蹈，跳过体操，打过两年篮球，学过游泳，塑造了完美的体态。每次在人群中，总是最夺目的存在。

她在18岁那年考入北京通讯兵文工团，成为一名舞蹈演员，复员后她进入到国家医学科学院卫生研究所，跟演戏不搭边。

一次误打误撞的机会，她出演了人生中的第一部电影《叛国者》，随后进入北京电影学院业余表演培训班学习，掌握了许多表演技巧。

而被杨洁导演发现的契机，是她第一次登上《大众电影》封面，彼时的她一头短发示人，十分端庄秀丽，恰好杨洁导演正在“为女儿国国王”这个角色的演员发愁，在翻开杂志看到她的第一眼，便沦陷在她的气质中，于是主动联系上她，才有了那个柔情似水、端庄典雅的形象。

朱琳的五官分配得很均匀，眼睛柔和，看上去既端庄又温柔，动态图美得惊心动魄。

尤其是那双美目，流转时深情款款，凝住时情痴意驰，一颦一笑都摄人心魂。

唐僧有没有动心不知道，反正观众是动了心的，看过她便念念不忘，一直到今日，那绝美的容颜依旧刻在脑海中。

赵丽颖是新生代演员中，难得的演技好、态度敬业，她曾扮演过影版的“女儿国国王”，这部电影在当时的热度很大，获得了较高的票房。

然而跟朱琳相比，赵丽颖依旧被吊打，不论是容貌还是演技，都存在很明显的差异。

朱琳是鹅蛋脸，古典气质浓郁，即可不怒自威，也可以惹人怜爱。

赵丽颖是娃娃幼态脸，很是活泼机灵，但缺少了端庄之气，不会让人眼前一亮。

而且在演技这一块，其实也跟老一辈的艺术家存在差距。比如眼神戏，朱琳的眼睛在动与不动之间，展现出来的是两种截然不同的气质，而赵丽颖的眼神戏，还有可提升空间。

不过，两人本来就是不同的类型，若是要满足原著，那就非朱琳莫属。

赵丽颖演出了女儿国国王的另一面，一个更加俏皮更加灵动的形象。其实如果有女儿国公主这个角色个人感觉更适合赵丽颖。

但不能说哪一个更好，只能说每个人都很有特色。

若是对老一辈的观众来说，仪态万千的朱琳更加合适。

对年轻的观众而言，天真烂漫的赵丽颖或许也会让她们眼前一亮。

朱琳的美是独一无二的，即便是岁月在她的身上碾过，也并未留下太大的痕迹，现在72岁的她依旧保持着良好的状态，端庄的气质比年轻的时候更浓。

“岁月从不败美人”，在她的身上具象化。
