Helen Mirren's Elizabeth I: Anjou courts Elizabeth, pt 1/2
BackElizabeth wanted to lead on and confuse people and powerful leaders of her day about her true intentions with Anjou---she was so successful at it that historians today still argue over how serious she ever was about the marriage! Historical reports say that the Duke had a pitted face from childhood smallpox , and a bit of a hunched back due to spinal deformity. Helen Mirren is said to be the only actress to play both Queen Elizabeths, and she has a jolly lot of fun with this role---the pathos, humor, mercurial nature of a queen in her 40s, but a queen acting younger in this sequence (acted by a Mirren in her 60s!). Helen Mirren ... Queen Elizabeth I Jeremy Irons ... Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester Jérémie Covillault ... Duke of Anjou Patrick Malahide ... Sir Francis Walsingham Ian McDiarmid ... William Cecil, Lord Burghley Elizabeth I (2005) (TV) Directed by Tom Hooper Written by Nigel Williams
