What's left behind the scenes

  • The protagonist, actor Eduard Kinaston, is a real historical figure, a star of his time. Rumors circulated that he was a lover of the Duke of Buckingham.
  • The film is based on the play of the same name by Jeffrey Hatcher.
  • According to Richard Eyre, when choosing an actor for the role of Ned, two conditions were important to him: firstly, the actor had to be handsome, and secondly, he had to have experience performing in Shakespearean plays, as it’s impossible to learn that overnight. Only 3-4 names were considered, and ultimately the role was offered to Billy Crudup.
  • While creating 'American Beauty,' Richard Eyre was inspired by the photographs of Nan Goldin. Her photo shoots often feature transgender and transvestite individuals.
  • For ten years, Eyre headed the Royal National Theatre, where he produced over 100 plays. He directed 'Othello' himself twice.
  • After filming, Billy Crudup and Claire Danes became a couple in real life. They dated until 2006.
  • The role of Maria was offered to Kate Winslet.
  • During a dinner at the palace, King Charles II (Rupert Everett) tells the guests about the revolution and his father, Charles I. Everett previously played Charles I in the film “To Kill a King” (2003).
