Title: Gorgeous biography of one of the first superstars
Review: Lillie Langtry was, in some ways, the first modern superstar celebrity, as famous for her off-stage life as her on-stage achievements, and this sumptuous - and that may be too mild a word - Masterpiece Theatre offering depicts that tumultous life in loving detail. Francesca Annis is first-rate as Lillie - a role she originally essayed several years before in "Edward the King", another Masterpiece Theatre miniseries - and supported by an equally excellent cast. The costuming and sets are truly gorgeous. My only complaint is that there's no subtitling on the DVD's.
