The Gilded Age’s creator Julian Fellowes would party with its real-life socialites.
Dinner parties were never dull inJulian Fellowes’s breakout upstairs-downstairs drama. And they surely are not in his latest show,either. Here the author, screenwriter, director, baron, and member of the UK’s House of Lords reveals who he’d have at his own fantasy fete.
You have two period pieces out now which focus on English and New York society, respectively. Which group of characters would you prefer to party with? New York would have been more fun. At the time the ways of the English were all quite settled and seemingly low-energy. But in New York, Mrs. Astor had forged this new society, mixing the old families and the old money with the new arrivals who came with great fortunes and built their palaces up and down Fifth Avenue. Their parties, with people like Alva Vanderbilt and Jay Gould, would have been pretty good fun.Apart from my wife, of course, I’d have to invite Marilyn Monroe.
