oldshrewsburyian:oldshrewsburyian:Harriet Walter as Lady Margaret BeaufortShe speaks Latin! She schemes! She talks about devotional literature and early printed books! And she has more political acumen in her left eyebrow than all the other characters put together.To obsequious courtier: You’re like a cat, bringing a dead mouse to its mistress. Please don’t.Well, they’ve given her character as melodramatic an end as possible, and thus liberated me instantly from caring what happens in this show. But just look at her. She’s so magnificent (and always, always the smartest person in the room.)Look at that gesture. I love her. This show does not deserve a woman who knows Jacobean drama taking its ridiculously forced plot lines seriously, but here she is anyway. -- source link
