Natalie Dormer Says She Won’t Promote Sarah Ferguson Series ‘The Lady’ Following Epstein Revelations, Donates Salary to Charity
Natalie Dormer Says She Won’t Promote Sarah Ferguson Series ‘The Lady’ Following Epstein Revelations, Donates Salary to Charity (EXCLUSIVE)
How the fuck are we expected to believe Natalie Dormer as Fergie.
She was Andrew’s wife, how was no one aware?
To be fair, which Sarah Ferguson may not deserve, she was married to Prince Andrew in 1986, separated in 1992, and divorced in 1996.
The earliest allegations against Prince Andrew are from 2001.
It is entirely possible Sarah Ferguson had no information into what Prince Andrew was up to or knew Jeffery Epstein in any way.
This recent letter however would definitely seem to indicate otherwise.
Being someone's spouse doesn't make you guilty (or often even aware) of the thing that the spouse did...
You can be temporarily married to a shitty person, lots of people are, and we try to give them the benefit of the doubt. But that only goes so far.
For real. The headlines about it all read like “woman married to open racist outed as a racist too”. Like yeah, no shit.
Maybe just over the point of being too public?

(And that can be damaging to ones career - especially if the full files get released)
With celebrities and powerful people you often see handwashing after something becomes bad in public's eye.
Like Weinstein, nobody except him was punished (well, not even him really), and so many worked with & supported him when they knew beyond any doubt what he was doing - but the pubic didn't.
And all these people had to do was to say they distanced themselves from him when the stories got a hold in the pubic media.
[off topic?]
One thing that I find strange is that the public knows exactly what the subject of the biography looks like, and yet they always seem to cast actors who are much better looking than the original.
Sarah was never as pretty as Natalie; Margo Robbie was much, much better looking than Tonya Harding.
Here's my all time favorite example.
The actress who played Leona Helmsley

Go look at any year book of a large Theatre Conservatory for any year in the last couple of decades and literally only a handful of people there are not significantly above average in terms of looks.
The major Theatre conservatories know very well that in this day an age Looks are at least as important as acting ability, even in Stage Theatre, so they already take it into account when selecting whom they taken in as pupils.
We live in an age of superficialism.
It's worse in the music world.
Ella Fitzgerald would never get a recording contract these days.
Margo Robbie was much, much better looking than Tonya Harding
What in the heteronormative hell…
I have also noticed that studio albums seem to have much cleaner sound and better recording quality and timing than live shows.
It dates waaaaaaay back. Do you really think court painters did accurate paintings of the result of generations of inbreeding?
Big names draw money and big names in Hollywood are often (but not always) conventionally attractive. I think part of the appeal of historical/biographical productions is that we get to see a more exciting and stylised representation of a "true story", and that often means the characters are more conventionally attractive than they otherwise would be. It is quite amusing though, similar to how teenagers are often played by actors well into their 20s (sometimes even older in the case of extras and minor roles).
I actually saw some paranormal show with reenactments. And the real one was way prettier than the actor. This anecdotal evidence happened precisely one time in my life lol
Cherish this moment. Memorialize it.
A small part of it must be that most people would look better than themselves if they were carefully prepared for a scene, and they had the right lighting and framing, and the focal length was flattering, and the perspective and cinematography was flattering, etc.
True story.
They asked Stormy Daniels* what the difference was between her porn sex and her personal sex life.
She said that she'd done a lot of wild and weird things in her personal life, but never once had she had a makeup artist and a hairstylist clean her look up in the middle of the act.
*You may have forgotten her, that Trump scandal was so long ago and there have been so many since then.
People are naturally more inclined to prefer attractive people.
I didn't understand any of that
Reading the article would have helped I imagine.
That was the problem. I read it.
And I don't understand what any of those people have to do with each other other than the Epstein files haven't been released which is honestly what matters.
