The Casting Couch!
Well - this is what it might have looked like - the casting couch that is! - Image sourced at on-line galleries who sell Louis XVI period furniture!
It's a shame that there are so few images of Jessica Benton (left), especially from The Onedin Line as she and Susan Sullivan (right) from Falcon Crest have always been near perfect Angéliques for me!
Although not exactly the right period but this pastoral view could easily pass for the time with Louis spending time with one of his many royal mistresses - image from the stage version of Les Liaison Dangereuses
And here he actually is playing the ageing King Louis XVI perfectly in A Little Chaos
Handily Jeremy Irons is playing the Head of the Jesuits (and has a fabulous line to boot) when not swashbuckling as an ageing Musketeer in The Man in the Iron Mask
