-Royal Portraits in Hollywood: Filming the Lives of Queens by Elizabeth Ford and Deborah C. Mitchell
As she stepped into the royal box she saw what had been pinned there. It was a placard and on it had been scribbled in huge letters:
‘Tremble, Tyrants. Your reign is nearly over.’
A servant hastily removed it but all during that performance it seemed to dance before the Queen’s eyes, and wherever she looked, from the stage to the glittering audience, she saw those words, ‘Tremble, Tyrants.’
And she did tremble.

Dress detail on a 1775 portrait of Marie Antoinette by Jean-Baptiste Gautier Dagoty
“William Wyler was such a perfectionist. The Heiress, for example, was set in the 1840’s and 1850’s, so we had to deal with two periods. We had crinolines, and we also had hoops, a slightly different silhouette. There were scenes in which Olivia de Havilland got dressed. You saw her in petticoats, corsets, and corset covers. William sent me to a fashion institute in New York, to be sure that every button and button hole was absolutely accurate. If I had to choose a picture that I did where everything was perfect down to the tiniest buttonhole, it would be The Heiress.” — Edith Head.
