Before Scarlett and Natalie jumped on the wagon, the BBC adapted The Other Boleyn Girl for TV.

Everyone is Hollywood-sexy in the studio adaptation of The Other Boleyn Girl. Who wouldn't want to be Henry's mistress if the king looked like that?

Dance 'Til You're Dead

Dance is dramatic, even more so when you can see it. The Tudors recreated Anne and Henry dancing the Volte, which is alluded to in the novel.

Profile Picture

This is the portrait Henry would likely use on Tinder. Do you want that beard rubbing on your face in a steamy makeout sesh?

Abercrombie and Itch

Katherine of Aragon was such a devout Catholic, she wore a hair shirt to remind her of her faith. It may have looked like this. It's so natural, we're surprised it hasn't come back in style. Maybe you can find it in Portland?
