Angela Pleasence as Catherine Howard in The Six Wives of Henry VIII (1970), Episode 5: Catherine Howard (written by Beverley Cross)
edited by me; apologies for any remaining artifacts!
Henry VIII was played by Keith Michell, while Will Somers (2nd picture) was played by Howard Goorney.
#tudor era#catherine howard#angela pleasence#henry viii#keith michell#will somers#howard goorney#the six wives of henry viii#I really disliked this portrayal#Angela Pleasence is def the weakest actress of the six#and she's too old to convincingly play the 17 yr old Catherine#also the writer hated Catherine bc...#he has her bully and abuse her cousin#be an asshole to Somers and banish him from court for no reason#repeatedly suggest murdering Dereham#and use Culpeper solely as a sperm donor to get herself pregnant#it's just a mess and it's remarkable the pendulum swung from this to Lynne Frederick's heartbreaking portrayal in the movie#just 2 yrs later#at least the costumes were good...#and keith michell's henry as always is superb#he actually won an emmy for this episode
