It only shows very briefly and in a murky scene. But I think this is it sitting in the second row to the front, right half of the audience in 2018’s “Mary Shelley”. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d99fa63226e544c390df6881da292875eb812c1c468cfc4a245133a564ef50cb.jpg

Costume Commentary
It only shows very briefly and in a murky scene. But I think this is it sitting in the second row to the front, right half of the audience in 2018’s “Mary Shelley”. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d99fa63226e544c390df6881da292875eb812c1c468cfc4a245133a564ef50cb.jpg
You are right! It sure is. REALLY good catch.
Here’s the best I could do, from the Duchess of Richmond’s Ball in
Vanity Fair
1987
Costume seen on an extra
Thanks!
I’ve been trying to figure out the actress and the character from “Napoléon”. I’ve checked every single credited actress I could find, and this one is my conclusion…
The most similar actress to the woman in the picture is Florence Pernel as Madame Tallien… The other [credited] actresses are not so physically similar to her…
But it is just a suspicion, I know nothing for sure…
This might be a better screenshot from THE BRETTS.
Oh, this is awesome! Thank you!
Oops, forgot to mention that the episode is titled: “Moving Pictures”
Here is the same costume, used in the ITV/Masterpiece Theatre co-production series, The Bretts (1987). This is Belinda Lang as Martha Brett, in costume for the role of Empress Josephine for a silent film production that features in the plot of episode 5.
I’ve found this costume again. Here it is in Napoleacuteon (2002). I’m still working on figuring out who the actress and character are!
Awesome, thank you so much!
Here is a better screencap from a DVD of Duel of Hearts (1991).
Thank you! I do love this dress!
Here it is again, on an extra in Duel of Hearts (1991).
Awesome! That’s sooo much better, thank you so much! I’ll be sure to put this on my list of things to update! I appreciate you taking the time to get a screen capture! 🙂 You are awesome!
I finally got my hands on a DVD copy of I Remember Nelson. Here’s a screencap–slightly better quality than the photo I posted earlier. 🙂
WOW! It sure is the same gown! Oh my goodness, I never would have noticed that! Great catch!
Here is the same gown from the 1982 production, I Remember Nelson. The gown seems to have acquired a few more sparkly embellishments since then, perhaps for Princess Caraboo? This is the incredible Anna Massey as Lady Frances Nelson. Sorry about the image quality. They’re from a very old VHS copy. I photographed the images from the television using a digital camera.
