Time for another who's who! Julian Fellowes is known for his amalgamated characters where he takes several people from history and blends them into one...maybe even two of his screen characters. I have rooted out who I think he based Turner as Mrs Winterton on. Let me know what you think! Am I right? Wrong? Off base? Love to hear your comments!

Was anyone Really Surprised that it was Turner, former lady’s maid to Bertha Russell as the new bride on the arm of the man that McAllister touted as a necessary donor/member of the new opera house? Bertha should have said, “Oh, Turner, there you are.”

[drippedinlit]

I’m willing to bet his second wife wasn’t really ill, men had a way—and still do, of making a woman out to be mentally unstable when she is not.

[PamelaFord-jgms]

Turner was stupid to taunt Mrs. Russell, when she has so much to loose. She obviously lied to her husband about her past, making her vulnerable.

Turner will not end well. Her character is not likable. Bertha is ruthless, like her husband, she plays to win it all. So once crossed she will destroy an opponent. Turner's motives are small and mean.

Drexel was an ancestor of Christine Baranski’s husband. Thank you sooo much for the free book! I have been wanting to read it!! ☀️💛

I'm disappointed with Bertha. She's letting Turner live rent-free in her head.
Turner threatened her; a bluff. Bertha has to get out ahead of it. Her ladies maid tried to seduce her husband, she got sacked.
She should socially bury her as soon as her opera house is settled.

another sad story of wealthy people changing/manilipulating laws to suit their needs, incredible

[ladyjustice]

The gilded age highlights the plain and horrible fact that women were expected to marry in order to have a roof over their head and food on the table, with no rights regarding property, money or anything else.

[masonprov]

She was a real person. Mary Lilly Kenan Flagler Bingham. Judge Robert Worth Bingham married her after Flagler died. Shortly after moving to Louisville, she died of mysterious circumstances, and her husband inherited 10MM dollars and became the Ambassador to the Court of St James (England) Her's is one hell of a story. Real life is stranger than fiction.

[eddiern]

I always thought Turner was based on Ida Wood. A poor Irishwoman who had married a newspaper publisher, Benjamin Wood.

[sergeayissi]

This is WHY removing Mr Winterton from the Academy because he married Turner, does not make sense! A powerful man can marry whoever he wants without facing social consequences.

[Denchor]

Thank you YouTube algorithm for presenting me with this channel! Excellent research👏

[classicalbk]

How did Mary and Mr. Flagler have lunch together? Wouldn't she eat with the servants?

[leigharmstrong]

Wow! The Free-read is fabulous for the weather here today. Thank you for great videos & the book.❤

[sansserif]

I thought Ms. Drexler's seamstress sounded a bit like a composite of a number of neglected lady's maids during that time. Tsk.

[historychannelpodcasts]

I am a fan of your videos! Love that you do the research and pull these women out of the hidden vaults of history and bring them into the light. Love the narrations. Please keep doing these. BTW I think you got it right when it comes to how Fellows finds his material.

[CarolynForney]

Mary probably pushed the old man down the steps.

[vernealeaton]

I believe the character of Mrs. Blaine is more suitable to this storyline.

[graphiquejack]

That sounds a bit like the story they gave Jeanne Trippleton’s character in season one.

[Richardsonprincess]

Bertha is about meet her match, talk about awkward in the gilded age.
