FUN FACTS:
  • Dormer is related to Jane Dormer, Duchess of Feria, a lady in waiting to Mary I, the real Boleyn's estranged step-daughter. Jane was the half-sister of the Catholic former Sheriff of Buckinghamshire, had been the loyal companion of Mary Tudor; after Mary's death, she led several Tudor noblewomen into Catholic exile in Spain. She had become a Spanish Countess, and after a duchess, by her marriage to the Duke of Feria, Philip II of Spain's former representative in England. Jane Dormer's memoirs contain some evidence on the real Boleyn's age, which is still a source of much academic dispute.

    I was looking her up and I found a person claiming to be her on Facebook. Is it a fake or is it really her?

    Dr Susan Bordo who is writing a new book called "The Creation of Anne Boleyn" said the following recently on her facebook page - http://www.facebook.com/thecreationofanneboleyn :

    "Natalie [Dormer] herself was concerned about the blue eyes. The most amazing story, though, is about her hair. She auditioned as a blonde (her natural color) and the Showtime people expected her to play Anne as a blonde! But Natalie (who had dyed her hair after she heard she got the role) bravely resisted, even though she might have lost the job. So it's thanks to Natalie that The Tudors Anne was a brunette!"

    Can you imagine what people would have said if she had been blonde? Everyone complained enough about Henry being slim and dark haired. LOL
