SARAH GADON TO LEAD
'ALIAS GRACE' PERIOD SET SERIES
Just some telly news for you this boring beginning of the week! That lovely lass from DRACULA UNTOLD, WORLD WITHOUT END and A ROYAL NIGHT OUT, Sarah Gadon is taking the lead role in Netflix' new true story mini series ALIAS GRACE a Margaret Atwood adaptation.
The six episode series follows Grace Marks (Sarah Gadon) a
poor, young Irish immigrant and domestic servant in Upper Canada who,
along with stable hand James McDermott, was convicted of the brutal
murders of their employer and his housekeeper in 1843. James was hanged
while Grace was sentenced to life imprisonment. Grace was one of the
most enigmatic and notorious women of her time for her supposed role in
the sensational double murder, but was eventually exonerated after 30
years in jail. Her conviction was controversial and sparked much debate
about whether Grace was actually involved in the murder or merely an
unwitting accessory.

THE ROYALS and now they've added a new super handsome face to the third season cast! British TV star Jules Knight will be Spencer, the new Lord Chamberlain! Described as smart, charismatic and cunning he is a professional willing to go the extra mile to make sure his job is a job well done. He has excellent taste and a knack for the details.

Helena (Elizabeth Hurley), Prince Liam (William Moseley) or Princess Eleanor and Prince Robert's arrival, obviously won't ease the dilemma.

ReplyDeleteyou mean you're not poor anymore? :)
DeleteI bet Fran is glad to be out of England with the whole Brexit fiasco. Can you imagine the horror of living there now dahlink? Methinks those Brits might be getting worse than Americans :0)
DeleteI think they're getting a lady for PM... that Boris had the nerve to cook up the chaos but not to clean it up after himself... What a nasty prick he is... all of them, actually
DeleteJust look at that 6 pack!
ReplyDeletewe can't stop looking
DeleteRobert needs a super long debriefing and checks before getting anywhere near the throne. Alias Grace sounds quite intriguing.
ReplyDeletehe is in it for a really big surprise.... he does not even know his daddy is dead...
DeleteI just love Margaret Atwood. I haven't read this book yet, but I will have to. This one has me written all over it!
ReplyDeletehope you will enjoy it, it is a rather old book, she won some awards for it, and was close to getting Booker for it too
DeleteThirty years? What a sad thing. I might have to see 'Alias Grace,' so I can rant!!!
ReplyDelete'tis very sad!
DeleteBring on The Royals. I do hope this season is as steamy as the last two ;)
ReplyDeleteI hope we see less of Eleanor and more of Liam and his bodyguard :)
DeleteAgreed!
Deletetotally
DeleteThat second pic is great. I've read many Atwood books, but not that one. Maybe I'll have to pick up Netflix again.
ReplyDeleteI knew the ladies would appreciate that one :)
DeleteI am a big fan of abs!
ReplyDeletethey're ever so lovely
DeleteJules Knight looks good to me!
ReplyDeleteand he is also ever so sweet, he tweeted this post, such a gent he is
DeleteI really liked Dracula Untold. Don't know if that was because of the actress or just the scripting...
ReplyDeleteit was one of the most underrated movies that year, a lovely one, and brilliant cast too
