August 22nd 2008 12:06
The Duchess is a biographical dramatisation of the life of Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire played by Keira Knightley. Born in 1757, she was the most fascinating woman of the age. A darling of the common people, she was also a doting mother, fashion icon and shrewd political operator amongst the powerbrokers of the time. She was far from perfect, however with a gambling problem and tragic love life. Her husband the Duke of Devonshire (Ralph Fiennes) was distant and uncaring, her affair with Earl Grey and other indiscretions created more scandal than you can imagine.
