The Lion in Winter (1968)


 The Lion in Winter

When Eleanor of Aquitaine asks for the love of Prince Richard, he remarks that he has seen pictures of Eleanor at the height of her beauty. He could have been referring to portraits later lost to history. Other than her tomb effigy, no images of Eleanor have survived. The two images traditionally assumed to be her are unconfirmed. Several written descriptions praise her beauty, but none of them include such basic features as her eye or hair color. Based on descriptions of her sons, all of whom were said to resemble her, she was likely very tall and slim, with a very strong chin, gray or blue eyes, and wavy reddish-gold hair, much like her descendant, Katharine Hepburn.
