Дополнительные характеристики
Acclaimed as the greatest comic actress of her day, Dora Jordan lived a quite different role off stage as lover of Prince William, third son of George III. Unmarried, the pair lived in a villa on the Thames and had ten children together before William, under pressure from royal advisers, abandoned her. The story of how Dora moved between the worlds of eighteenth-century theatre and happy domesticity, of her fights for her family and her career, makes a classic story of royal perfidy and female courage.
