C16th makeups: Fire Over England

Queen Elizabeth I, a beautiful lady-in-waiting, a daring adventurer ( in those days – the 1930s I mean – all adventurers were daring) and the Spanish Armada: I guess that says it all. Flora Robson played Elizabeth and reprised the role in The Sea Hawk.

Perc Westmore did the makeup for The Sea Hawk but I don’t know which makeup artist worked on Fire Over England: if anyone knows the makeup credits for this movie please email me.

Flora Robson played a wide variety of character parts in a fifty year career in the movies: some of her many looks are displayed in the chameleons section.
