SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE (1993) dir. Nora Ephron

✧ “Anne Boleyn’s charm arose primarily from the deep-seated confidence with which she was able to handle herself in courtly surroundings. She was the perfect woman courtier, for she had learned her lessons in France well: her carriage was graceful and her French clothes were pleasing and stylish; she danced with ease, had a pleasant singing voice, played the lute and several other musical instruments well, and spoke French fluently. She is also reputed to have written a masque and composed music. A remarkable, intelligent, quick-witted, young noblewoman with a personal knowledge of many of the players in European politics, she surely had a a repertoire of anecdotes about the Hapsburg and Valois courts that first drew people into conversation with her and then amused and entertained them. In short, her energy and vitality made her the center of attention in any social gathering.” — Retha M. Warnicke
