His third marriage. the triumph of hope over experience for both of them.
I remember him as a very handsome young man, not much interest in him otherwise. He really has gone over, now. he could walk down any High Street and no one would give him a second look.
I've just done a bit of Googling and I'd agree, he's not as attractive as when he was younger - but are any of us?! I loved him when he played an Italian aristo in "Dangerous Beauty" with Catherine McCormack.
MrsKen33 I am reading a book published in the 1860s.
The importance off whether someone (male) has gone over and gone off forms an iportant part of the book. Indeed the heroine, at 19, considers she has a good ten years ahead of her before she starts going off.
He was a beautiful young man. I remember being on holiday years ago and walking past the filming of Far From The Madding Crowd. The cast were having a break, and I walked as close to him as possible and gazed into those mesmerising hazel eyes!
I'm just watching Middlemarch and didn't know Rufus Sewell was in it, so was taken aback to see him with black locks flying. Had to double check it was him (although those cheek bones are unmistakable) as I've never seen him with long hair before.
