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.
Maria Doyle Kennedy portrayed Catherine of Aragon so well.
Definitely one of the Best Actresses to play her, that's for sure.
Maria is a Spanish name but she is Irish
@@lolo3084 It is a Spanish name, but it is a generally Latin version of Mary and vice versa. Maria is a common name in many countries which include Spain, Italy, and other countries.
@@KL-ki8db She is Irish, not Spanish and Catherine or Katherine (Catalina) was Blonde.
The tudors may have been historically inaccurate but Maria Doyle Kennedys portrayal of Katherine of aragon was magnificent. I was mesmerised by her performance
Me too every time I think of Queen Katherine I always think of her
It’s so iconic
She was made to look too Spanish. Catherine of Aragon had "Tudor gold" hair and blue eyes and was said to be very beautiful, none of which can be said of MDK.
@@HotVoodooWitch Maria Doyle Kennedy has blue eyes and is quite lovely, so she's two for three- pretty decent odds compared to other versions of her.
@@timetravelingshark8811 I don’t think she’s attractive and Catherine’s red-gold hair was famous. 🤷🏼♀️
My poor and beloved queen💔
mi pobre y amada reina
The great Greek Classical actress Irene Pappas is unsurpassed in any role she chose to take on. And her portrayal is for me the definitive Catherine of Aragon portrayal on screen, despite the fact that she did not physically look like her. RIP one of the greats.
Irene Papas and Maria Doyle Kennedy are Magnificent Thank you for making this video
You can see how most of the earlier ones are biased against her in favor of Anne lol
@@tudorqueen4645 I agree with that too, but other than that one all of the latest representations were better. And on that one I have to add Emma Frost/Starz ruined the memory and legacy of every women they've touched in their series of dramas focusing on historical women, without any exception they butchered every character and every relationship.
@@tudorqueen4645 I agree with you on the bad representation and that it was disrespectfull towards how she really was but as for inaccuracoes it was no mkre inaccurate than any other historical show or movie made by English/US media. I would say it was more accurate than most of them.
because they came from media focusing on Anne 😐
I agree. For instance, Anne of a Thousand Days used Geneviève Bujold to portray Anne. Bujold is so much prettier than the actual Anne. Ironically, Bujold even has reddish hair [at least in the movie], while the real Anne had black hair. By contrast, they used Irene Pappas to portray Catherine when Pappas is the total opposite of what the real Catherine who was a fair-skinned, red head was like. Just by looking at the film even without the characters talking, you feel that Henry and Catherine are not matched while Henry and Anne are: Richard Burton as Henry and Geneviève Bujold as Catherine are so attractive.
Actually, I believe many scholars believe Anne had dark reddish hair
The tudors and the other Boleyn girl were definitely my favorites.
my fav is the spanish princess and the tudors
Same
SAME
Although she did not accurately look physically like Catherine I thought Irene Papas did a great job of portraying Catherine’s , dignity , pride and stubbornness but also showed her deep hurt and sadness at being cast aside by Henry. From what I have read Catherine seemed to have genuinely loved Henry and they were happy in the beginning of their marriage and when it all fell apart she was heartbroken and fell into a deep melancholy when Henry divorced her.
A very good analysis.
Anette Crosbie takes the lead, closely followed by Frances Cuka and Maria Doyle Kennedy.
My Top 5 Favourite Katherine of Aragons.
1. Annette Crosbie
2. Maria Doyle Kennedy
3. Irene Papas
4. Frances Cuka
5. Joanne Whalley
Literally same
Katherine deserves a Spanish actress
@@lolo3084 She was played by a Spanish actress in the two adaptations of The Other Boleyn Girl and the 2003 Henry VIII miniseries.
@@eamonndeane587 But many British Actresses still play her
@@lolo3084and Irish!
My Queen.❤
Anna Torrent had an excellent performace role with an outstanding and magnificient interpretation of one of the most beloved and loyal Queen of England..Katherine of Aragon..BY far!
Catalina (Katherine in Spanish) was Blonde and Blue-eyed as her mother Isabel La Católica (Isabella of Castile)
¡qué obsesión con el color de ojo y pelo!! lo que importa es la actriz! Isabel tenía el pelo rubio y ojos azules por su herencia inglesa!!!
@@astrofabio68 Puras inglesas haciendo de una española, Ana Torrent se ve muy mayor
It’s funny… Rosalie Crutchley will go on to play another of Henry’s wives.. Catherine Parr in the 70s tv series the 6 wives of Henry VIII with Keith Michelle!
Thank you 💖
Irene Papas
My favorite scene ever of Catherine was in The Other Boleyn girl when she confronts Anne and Mary. While this depiction is likely the most ahistorical of the bunch, the way they portrayed her is how I think of Catherine. Totally dignified.
What I hate most of The Tudors is that is very inaccurate to real physical apperances, in the Tudors Catherine looks like Henry VIII's mother! 😂😂and she was just 6 years older !! and she was redhead but not in the show,so then they don't show the reality, that's why I see The Tudors a comedy more than a storical tv show
Alo ges🗿☝🏻
The Spanish Princess represented her accurately. She had reddish-blonde hair and blue eyes.
May have got the looks accurate, but never the history.
The Spanish Princess wouldn't know what accuracy means.
Shadow of the Tower and Six Wives of Henry VIII more so.
No she was more chubby
But yes
Catherine of Aragon, a great, noble, pious, intelligent and caring woman and Queen, beloved by the people. 🌹💕🌹
She has been done wrong so many times over the years in every way whether it be time, effort and appearance etc.
Annette Crosby is often seen as the best portrayer of Catherine and understandably so.
My personal fav is Maria Doyle Kennedy's portrayal. She really caught the essence of Catherine and made you feel for her. If only she had worn a red wig and blue eye contacts.
Maria has blue eyes just black hair but honestly I she caught the essence of how I would imagine Catharine even Henry was like oh dam the queens here even with anne he still had to send her away because he knew he would not have peace with her around because she was more favored then him .
I feel like Charlotte hopes Catherine of Aragon was more accurate in my opinion 😅
@@HuhSubject only physically.
Maria Doyle Kennedy did the best representation on screen for me. I can ignore hair color if the character is displayed respectfully and she played Katherine with the inherent dignity she had. Also in the Spanish production Carlos Rey Emperador, Katherine is portrayed, including the trial and that actress is a tie for me alongside Kennedy. Carlos in general does an amazing job, and the costumes are very accurate and beautiful, often directy copies from actual portraits of this era
Irene Papas RIP
The actress in the Other Boleyn Girl had the best accent but for me Maria Doyle Kennedy portrayed her the best
The dance in "The Sword and the Rose," where the man lifts the woman into the air by her waist, was called the "La Volta," or "Volta," and was a real dance popular during the 16th century, although it was introduced later in the century than King Henry's reign. This is one of the few historically authentic dances in films set in the Tudor era.
I hate when the adoptions of Catherine cast her aside in favour of Anne boleyn, Don't get me wrong, I admire, respect and adore Anne. But Catherine deserved so much better all of his wives did, my personal top three vershions of her are.
1. Frances cuka
2. Annabette crosbie
3. Maria Doyle Kennedy
Catherine was a beloved queen who cared for her people, put others' needs before hers and was a beautiful, intelligent and kind soul who could play the game just as well as any man. May she rest in peace
The casting in Wolf Hall was so good. The Spanish Princess was marred by a Henry VII that didn’t look anything like the real king (and probably didn’t act like him either) and a Henry VIII that was too old.
catherine is so tragic and i love her
Its taken me to long to realize Mr Bates late wife was Catherine of aragon
Lol,a fellow Downton Abbey lover I see!
Six Wives of Henry VIII, Isabel, Carlos Rey Emperador, and The Tudors have my favorite portrayals of Catherine of Aragon.
Edit: the Isabel and Carlo’s portrayals were not shown up here. But it’s understandable due to copyright. But they are good Spanish tv shows.
I love Maria Doyle Kennedy. She portrayed her so beautiful strong and beautiful. Asumpta Serna ist also great.
Brava, Irene Pappas.
The only true Queen ❤
It doesn't matter who is best. Either way, the original Catherine was a total babe! 😍🤩😍🤩
"Then give me a healthy child "
She finished him with that sentence
No, she finished herself.
Maria Doyle Kennedy did an excellent job playing Catherine of Aragon
Annette Crosbie was brilliant
Maria Doyle Kennedy
Irene Papas
Assumpta Serna
Ana Torrent
I say this with a soft spot in my heart for Tudor History. After watching the last clip from “Henry VIII and His Six Wives” with the very blonde Henry VIII…Chris Pratt as He-Man in the SNL sketch “He-Man and Lion-O”…well, the resemblance is striking. I blame the wigs.

(If you’re interested.)
Irene Papas tried, she was just wrong for the part. Catherine was beautiful. He divorced her only because she had no son.
I agree i loved her in the Tudors
