C16th makeups: The Six Wives of Henry VIII

The Six Wives of Henry VIII

The Six Wives of Henry VIII is one of those classic mini-series of the 1970s from the BBC that now look sadly dated. Dorothy Tutin played Anne Boleyn.

As Anne Boleyn was probably aged thirty to thirty-five at her execution, and may conceivably have been as young as twenty-four, Dorothy Tutin was – and looked – too old for this role

Pam Burns was the makeup artist.
