In his twilight years Jefferson was already taking on the luster of a national icon, which was polished off by his auspicious death (on July 4, 1896) and in the subsequent seventeen decades of his celebrity-now verging, thanks to virulent revisionists and television documentaries, on notoriety-has been inflated beyond recognition of the original person.For the historian Joseph J. After 1809, his longed-for retirement was compromised by a steady stream of guests and tourists who made of his estate at Monticello a virtual hotel, as well as by more than one thousand letters per year, most from strangers, which he insisted on answering personally. For a man who insisted that life on the public stage was not what he had in mind, Thomas Jefferson certainly spent a great deal of time in the spotlight-and not only during his active political career.

What were some interesting points that you learned? You spent a lot of time before filming learning more about Anne Rice herself and reading past interviews with her. That just creates a really fascinating character because you don’t know what she’s going to do next. I was intrigued by how someone deals with all of that-to be a mess, but also together at the same time. Rowan is an accomplished woman who has a lot going for her, but she’s a mess and she becomes an even bigger mess through circumstances out of her control in the first two episodes. What can you tell me about your character, Rowan? It just seemed like a really fun learning experience as well as a really cool project. So, I was really intrigued to dive in and learn more about her and why she tells these stories and dive into this fascinating character that she created. I had never read Anne Rice, and as a huge reader, I was shocked that I had missed somehow. I loved the people working on the project, I love AMC. What was it about this show that made you want to join this project? And to dive a little deeper into it all, the actress sat down to discuss more on ‘Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches,’ which premieres this weekend on AMC/AMC+.

Shipman reveals new information about this beautiful, brilliant, and dangerous woman, tracing the web of connections between her professional and personal lives. Mata Hari's life reads like both an action-packed adventure tale and passionate, poignant romance. Fleeing her tragic marriage, she reinvented herself as Mata Hari, a scandalously sensual dancer with an Indies name and an Indies aura about her novel "artistic" dances. Shuttled off to reluctant relations, Margaretha impulsively married a much older man, who gave her syphilis (then incurable) and took her to the Dutch East Indies, where the unhappy marriage exploded into vicious hatred following the death of their oldest child. Her blissful Dutch childhood as Margaretha Zelle ended abruptly with her parents' emotionally scarring divorce and, shortly after, her mother's death. But was she actually a spy? In this persuasive new biography, Pat Shipman explores the life and times of the mythic and deeply misunderstood dark-eyed siren to find the truth. The mistress of many senior Allied officers and government officials, even the French minister of war, she had a sharp intellect and a golden tongue fluent in several languages she also traveled widely throughout wartorn Europe, with seeming disregard for the political and strategic alliances and borders. In 1917, the notorious Oriental dancer Mata Hari was arrested on the charge of espionage less than one year later she was tried and executed-charged with the deaths of at least 50,000 gallant French soldiers. |
