Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMarsha Fitzalan (Duchess of Norfolk) is, in real-life, the daughter of the 17th Duke and Duchess of Norfolk.
- GoofsImmediately preceding the scene (interior) where the Pope is seen writing his refusal to divorce Henry VIII from Catherine of Aragon, there is a panoramic view of the Vatican (with St. Peter's basilica), implying that the Pope was in Rome/the Vatican at the time.DIn fact, the Pope was at Orvieto at the time, and it was there, in the Papal palace, where he wrote and signed this particular document.
- Quotes
Katherine of Aragon: What did I do to upset you? That a maid of mine should turn against me like this?
Anne Boleyn: You failed to give England an heir.
Katherine of Aragon: And that upsets you so?
Anne Boleyn: What upsets the king upsets me.
Katherine of Aragon: Let me tell you this. You want me to lie before God and admit my first marriage was consummated? Well, it was not. You want me to retire, and withdraw my daughter's claim as sole rightful heir to the throne? Well, I shall not. Not in a thousand years. Not if you rack me within an inch of my life. So, I hope you have the belly for a fight, Anne Boleyn. Because I'll fight you every inch of the way.
- Crazy creditsHelena Bonham Carter receives second-billing in both parts despite Anne Boleyn getting the chop in the first part. Her contribution in part 2 is the pre-title reprise and flashbacks all already shown in part 1.
- ConnectionsEdited into Honest Trailers: Lord of the Rings (2012)
I knew it wasn't my imagination when I found this in her biography:
"Delivered her first child, a boy, Billy Ray, with boyfriend Tim Burton on October 6, 2003"
That would have been just after shooting Henry VIII. I've enjoyed Carter's work over the years, but still - there are a zillion terrific English actresses who could have done (and looked!) the part equally as well.
