Jane Parker from the Tudors was excellent. I wish a historical series would portray her accurately though, from all accounts her marriage to George Boleyn wasn't as unhappy as it's portrayed. Love these videos, it's interesting to see the different interpretations of each historical figure.
Joanne King is my favorite Jane Boleyn. She portrayed her more sympathetically and not like the propaganda history made her out to be. Plus by all accounts Jane was very attractive. She was born around 1505 and a lot of movie and series over the decades have had much older women playing her.
I realize that Sheila Burrell was too old for the role, and her depiction was ultimately proven to be rather inaccurate...BUT, she was my favorite of the bunch. She just dripped venom, but did it so well.
Thank you 🙏 Great video, this time focusing on the shadowy Jane Parker Boleyn. I liked Jessica Raine in Wolf Hall but unfortunately I can't pick a a fav as they're all inaccurate. Jane is constantly done dirty time and time again in books and onscreen. The real Jane was not an irritating scheming villain. She was loyal to the Boleyns especially to Anne and actually had good and loving marriage to George. Hopefully one day Jane and George for that matter will be portrayed with the accuracy they deserve
There are now books that are more sympathetic to Jane Boleyn. One is "The Raven's Widow", a historical novel by Adrienne Dillard. It was published in 2017 and is available on Amazon. 😊
i’m waiting until Becoming Elizabeth comes out until i make the anne of cleves video so the video doesn’t become out of date so quickly. thomas more will be my next video!
Juno Temple. She was young and insecure. She was in a bad marraige,which made her vindictive, taking stupid risks. I thought she portrayed this beautifully.
As much as I loved the BBC version with Keith Michell, the Lady Rochford actress was all wrong for the part. In real life, Lady Rochford was reasonably attractive, and not the older, ugly, masculine voiced frump of the BBC version.
She's older but not really "ugly". She's a rather handsome woman. Also 48 back in the days, given smoking, lack of botox and other facial treatments, as well just general medical improvements was much older than 48 is now.
I don’t think it’s appropriative so much as bizarre. In order for it to be appropriation it has to be a dominant culture overtaking a story from a culture that has been colonized. I’m uncomfortable with it, I would be less uncomfortable if the entire cast were black. Then it would just feel like a retelling.
Some historians have a theory (and they acknowledge that it is only a hypothesis) that the Howards learned that Catherine had had an affair with Francis Dereham before Henry married her. They knew that Henry would be murderously angry if he eventually found out and would take his anger out on the entire Howard clan, which included Lady Rochford. The best insurance seemed to be for Catherine to become pregnant fast and give Henry a son. Since some of the court believed that Henry was incapable of fathering a child at this point, Catherine may have needed to find another man to impregnate her. Other historians maintain that Catherine was just a not very bright or cautious young woman (one called her "a pretty featherbrain") who found life with an obese older man with ulcerated, bad-smelling legs unappealing and wanted some of the physical excitement she had found with Dereham. In that case Lady Rochford's participation is harder to explain.
Isn't it hilarious how the acting degrades as the new adaptations come about. Everything in the 70's looks and sounds 70's, everything in the later decades look like they are from that decade. Nobody REALLY knows how the Tudors behaved or conducted themselves.
I have to speed up some of the clips or else the video will get blocked due to copyright. Set the playback speed to 0.75 for better viewing.

I feel the same about Sarah bolger as Mary. I wish they would have made a wee 2 part series of her life after Henry died 💗
Joanne King and Jessica Raine's depictions are probably my favourite ones.
Excellent work! This character deserves her own movie. It would be epic!

Ooh! I was just thinking of Lady Rochford the other day, once again you read my mind! Thanks for another great video! 😉

She was a great actress, I'd wonder if there was a Tudor role she was better suited for
@@matteusconnollius1203 I would say Lady Bryan.
@@matteusconnollius1203 She would have been a Phenomenal Eleanor of Aquitaine in my opinion.
@@matteusconnollius1203 She would have made one hell of a Queen Mary. Great actress to be sure.
Thank you 🙏

Anna Brewster played Lord Buckingham's daughter; one of Charles Brandon's "girlfriends" in season one of The Tudors as well
So I was also wondering about Anne of Cleves recently, are you planning a video for her portrayals? Oh, and Sir Thomas More, please. 😁
i’m waiting until Becoming Elizabeth comes out until i make the anne of cleves video so the video doesn’t become out of date so quickly. thomas more will be my next video!
@@mistressseymour Ah, gotcha. Yay! 😁
Sir Thomas more would be excellent, he's always been one of my favourite historical figures.
Paul Schofield in "A Man For All Seasons" was the perfect More.
@@nassauguy48 Word! 🤩

This Lady Locked Old In The 1970 Series .
They went with the "wicked step mother" vibe in that one. I prefer a younger Lady Rochford. It's more effective.
The dog 😭
I agree this character is a movie in herself. He had an EPIC life. If she hadn’t died when she did who knows what else she would have seen?

ok up until 5:10. Cultural appropriation
do you ever get tired

Get off Twitter and touch grass
@@mistressseymour No not when I see racism
Lol. You don't know what cultural appropriation even means.
Why on earth would Lady Rochford help Catherine Howard cheat on the King?! How stupid.

2021-BLACK !!!
Yes :(
And beautiful.
@@Eff_It So, is it all right for a white woman to play Harriet Tubman or Coretta Scott King?
@@nassauguy48 There's not a white woman on Earth with the talent to play either.
Isn't it hilarious how the acting degrades as the new adaptations come about. Everything in the 70's looks and sounds 70's, everything in the later decades look like they are from that decade. Nobody REALLY knows how the Tudors behaved or conducted themselves.
The worst was a black actress playing Anne Boleyn. How stupid is that?
@@jamesfournier3458 Completely stupid. And we know that anti white bashing was the reason she got the part.
