The Crown: 10 Hidden Details About The Main Characters Everyone Missed 

The whole point of the Netflix historical drama, The Crown, is to shed light on the hidden details of some of the most public figures of the 20th century: The Royal Family. So much of the series details the backdoor conversations, scandals, and controversies that plagued the denizens of Buckingham Palace, not to mention those in 10 Downing street and beyond.

RELATED: The Crown: 10 Things To Know Before Watching Season 3

That being said, there is a lot left to be uncovered about the actors who brought these main characters to life. While audiences might know a good deal about the real royals, it's their fictional counterparts and performers where the secrets lie.

10 Churchill Was Much Shorter Than John Lithgow

The visage of Sir Winston Churchill is unmistakable. The stare, underbite, hunch, and accessories have become signature aspects of the iconic figure. The task of bringing such a figure to life is daunting, to say the least. Luckily, American actor John Lithgow's performance is a knockout, capturing the former Prime Minister in all his flaws and accolades.

One thing that most audiences might not realize though is the sharp differences between the two men. For one thing, John Lithgow is way taller than Sir Winston Churchill, clocking in at 6'4" while the prime minister was a measly 5'6". Because of this, the recognizable front door of 10 Downing Street had to be increased in size to a ridiculous amount, to keep the portrayal accurate.

9 Churchill Had A Specific Accent

Almost more iconic than his appearance is Churchill's voice. The gravelly yet nasally accent of Winston was one of the first immediately recognized the world over thanks both to the increasingly common use of radio, and Churchill's boisterous personality.

Lithgow had to delve deep to capture the iconic voice. The voice coach on the production assisted all of the actors, not just Lithgow. This was due to the ever-changing British Accent through the decades. Lithgow took it one step further though, stuffing cotton up his nostrils to assist in his vocal characterization.

8 The Age Gap Between Elizabeth And Margaret

Some of the best casting in the series has to go to the duo behind bringing both Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret to life: Claire Foy and Vanessa Kirby. This duo couldn't feel more opposite, with one portraying the practical queen and the other the royal radical.

RELATED: 10 TV Shows That Were Incredibly Expensive To Make

The two give some of the best performances in the series. What many fans might not know though is they share an aspect of the real sisters' relationship. Claire Foy is four years older than Kirby, which is also the same age gap between the real Elizabeth and Margaret.

7 Churchill Was The Only British Character To Be Portrayed By An American

When it comes to the British series, there are scant Americans to be found. If the role can be filled by a Brit, they will almost always fill it.

While there are Americans throughout the series, Michael C. Hall as JFK for example, only one played a British figure from history. John Lithgow, the beloved American actor, brought Winston Churchill to life. While many fantastic Brits had done so in the past, this Yank did one of the best.

6 The Duke Of Windsor Or The Prince Of Wales?

The Duke of Windsor is one of the most divisive figures in the history of the royal family. Not only did he bring it shame after abdicating the throne for a divorced woman, but he also brought a storm of controversy when his Nazi connections were uncovered.

Alex Jennings brought the disgraced prince to life in the Netflix series, embodying the elitism and complications behind the figure. But, it is not the only royal figure that Jennings has played. He also portrays Prince Charles in Peter Morgan's The Queen. Morgan is the lead writer of The Crown, so it's no wonder there is a bit of spillover in the casting department.

5 Vanessa Kirby Almost Didn't Get To Play Margaret

It is hard to imagine anyone else playing Princess Margaret at this point (even though we can't wait to see Helena Bonham Carter take on the role in Season 3). But, Vanessa Kirby almost lost the part due to some bad skincare choices.

During her screen test, Kirby had applied self-tanner to her ankles. Later, during her audition, she had changed into a skirt that showed off more of her leg, along with the tan lines. The choice almost cost her the job according to Peter Morgan, since it was beyond distracting.

4 Are Those Real Cigarettes?

One of the defining features of Margaret's appearance is her constant smoking. Where Elizabeth is strictly refined, embodying a rigid and disciplined personality, Margaret is the exact opposite. Margaret is the image of 20th-century beauty and sophistication.

RELATED: 5 Movies Netflix Saved From Development Hell (& 5 Movies We Hope They Save)

From her outfits to her smoking, she is that aesthetic. Only one issue: Kirby doesn't smoke. To keep the aspect included, Kirby smoked herbal cigarettes. This is a fairly common practice. Since smoking is less common nowadays, many actors have to use false cigarettes for may period pieces.

3 Elizabeth & Phillip Had Particular Ways Of Speaking

If Winston Churchill's voice is recognizable, The Queen's is iconic. Nearly anyone can do a decent impersonation of the Queen, embodying an aristocratic aura in a pretty hokey English accent. But to actually capture her definite speech patterns, the cast needed the help of William Conacher.

Conacher, who also assisted Helen Mirren in Peter Morgan's play The Audience, had a specific challenge for Foy and Matt Smith. Even with simple terms such as was, the pair struggled to capture the definite mannerisms. The large vowels, in particular, were a specific challenge.

2 Too Many Queens

It seems like everyone thinks that Britain only has a handful of actors who appear in every single show and film. Well, The Crown certainly doesn't help against that statement. All of The Crown's royal queens have almost all played queens in previous projects.

Claire Foye herself played Anne Boleyn in the series Wolf Hall, wife to Henry VIII. Victoria Hamilton, who portrays the Queen Mother on The Crown, also played Queen Victora in Victoria and Albert, while Eileen Atkins played Queen Mary of Teck before in Bertie and Elizabeth. This tradition will continue with the inclusion fo Olivia Colman, who won the Oscar for her portrayal as Queen Anne in The Favourite.

1 The King Looked A Little Too Sick

One of the most heartbreaking arcs of the series was the slow death of King George VI. The late king died from a battle with laryngeal cancer, one which debilitated his ability to speak. Jared Harris portrayed the monarch on the series, adding a deft and subtlety to the role.

Harris took method acting to a whole other level though with his portrayal. When playing the sick monarch, Harris was suffering from a terrible cold, adding a bit of reality to his ill performance.

Some random last night GoT thoughts...

1. The biggest deal, imho, about the Rhaegar/Lyanna “marriage” is that finally there’s something in writing that might point to Jon’s heritage. If, further down where Gilly didn’t get to read before she was interrupted, it mentioned Lyanna’s pregnancy, that honestly is a bigger deal. At this point whoever sits on the Iron Throne will sit on it by right of conquest as much as anything else. Even as a bastard, Jon had a good enough claim to the throne provided he could prove his true ancestry which is a pretty big if. The show has, for the most part, been somewhat good about characters showing skepticism towards the claims of others, as they are with Jon (and Sam) and the White Walkers. Honestly, even as Jon Snow, son of Eddard Stark, he could’ve theoretically ended up on the throne by conquest, like Robert Baratheon did. And the legitimacy thing, if we want to assume they’re borrowing from medieval history at all here, could still very much be in dispute by all of the other characters. If this had been 100% above board and everyone who needed to consent to the annulment had consented, it wouldn’t have been such a secret. I wonder if it’s meant to be a parallel of Henry VIII/Anne Boleyn and in that case there were a lot of people calling Elizabeth a bastard, even as she sat on the throne. Historically plenty of bastards (or their descendants) have ended up on plenty of thrones anyway, and it doesn’t seem to be different in the GoT universe; why else would Robert’s bastards have been such a problem for the Lannisters?

2. The strongest claim to the Iron Throne, imho, is Jon and Daenerys as a married couple. This is true whether or not Jon’s true parentage (and possibly legitimacy) is known. One of the things that did House Targaryen in last time around was their treatment of the Stark family. Jon is now the head of House Stark, and Dany knows he’s an important ally, and traditionally alliances were sealed by marriage whenever possible. Jon Snow, as King of the North and head of House Stark, is honestly the most suitable possible husband for Daenerys. His illegitimacy is the only possibly hiccup (thought it didn’t keep him from becoming King of the North!) but if Dany was worried about that she could sign something legitimizing him, like the Lannisters did for Ramsey Bolton. The show seems to be going in this direction, with lots of gazes being exchanged by Jon and Daenerys, and imho the fact that they haven’t brought the idea up just to dismiss it (since it’s an obvious solution) suggests it’s going to happen. And once Jon’s parentage comes out, them being aunt/nephew is probably not a dealbreaker in the universe of the show (or, with the proper dispensation, in medieval Europe). They could rule as co-monarchs, like Ferdinand and Isabella in Spain or William and Mary in Britain.

3. Obviously, Cersei’s baby is not going to survive. But what she does in the mean time may do her in. Is she really going to tell everyone she fucked her brother, out-of-wedlock, and is having his baby? People were fed up with all the incest in House Targaryen, and at least they tried to make it look permissible by marrying their siblings. A female monarch openly having a child out-of-wedlock would be an epic scandal, even if her brother wasn’t the father. And it leads credence to the rumors about the paternity of her other children, which makes her guilty of adultery, a worse sin than fornication for a woman. What she needs is a husband. Someone from an aristocratic background, fiercely loyal to House Lannister, not inclined to ask a lot of questions, not jealous, and easily disposable if necessary. Dickon Tarly would’ve been a great choice if he hadn’t just gotten burnt to a crisp. NOT EURON GREYJOY. Of course he would get pissed if she married someone else, or if she had a baby with Jaime even without marrying anyone. He’s a complication with no easy solution. So instead of thinking of one, Cersei will possibly decide next week to marry him (she’s never as smart as she thinks she is!), which will be a bad idea for a variety of reasons, and may ultimately be the decision that does her in for good. Jaime won’t be happy, and when Euron figures out she’s pregnant and it’s not his (which he will figure out, I’d bet money on it) bad things are going to happen. She’ll probably kill him, but do it in a really sloppy way that comes back on her. Just the possibility of Cersei being able to have more children strengthens her claim to the throne; otherwise letting her stay is a guarantee of more instability down-the-line when she dies without an heir.

4. Cersei’s pregnancy puts the passage of time into perspective in a way that may hurt our suspension of disbelief. We assume Cersei told Jaime he was pregnant right after he met with Tyrion. Jon Snow left for The Wall after Tyrion and Davos got back from King’s Landing. Considering travel time, by the time he gets the White Walker in front of her, she should be ready to burst, if not breastfeeding a two-month-old. But my guess is they’re not going to think of that, or they may have her miscarry before he gets back.

5. I hope Arya understands what Littlefinger is doing. I didn’t pick up what the letter she found was while I was watching the episode, but I saw in various reviews it was the note Cersei forced Sansa to write back in Season 1 ordering Robb to bend the knee to Joffrey. I really think Arya’s smart and she should know exactly who Littlefinger is and what sort of things he does. Why else would he have a letter from years ago hiding in his mattress? I don’t like the way she’s treating Sansa and Littlefinger sees an opportunity to get her out of Winterfell by manipulating her distrust of her sister. And if she leaves Winterfell she may miss her good buddy Gendry’s return.

6. Speaking of Gendry, I know there must be a bigger reason they brought him back and I’m guessing it has more to do with his blacksmithing skills than his claim to the throne. If his claim to the throne had significance to the plot, they wouldn’t have let him disappear for so long. I’m hoping Melisandre won’t try to sacrifice him; I don’t see how Baratheon blood would be of use for a Targaryen? He could potentially have a good claim as head of House Baratheon which makes him somewhat important even if he’s not heir to the Iron Throne.

New Post has been published on http://www.lifehacker.guru/why-new-parents-need-to-take-a-break-from-the-news-and-what-they-should-do-instead-2/

Why New Parents Need to Take a Break From the News (and What They Should Do Instead)

In the months after my kids were born, the news cycle would send me into tailspins of anxiety and fear. The Penn State sex-abuse scandal and the Newtown shootings paralyzed me for days—I wept while changing diapers, wept in the bathtub, wept while pushing the stroller down the street. What might have been (merely!) horrifying pre-kids was now incapacitating. For my own mental health, I had to stop reading the news and looking at social media.

Take a Media Fast

Judging from the conversations in my moms’ groups, these feelings aren’t at all unusual. New parents are especially vulnerable to anxiety, says Laura Venuto, a New York City therapist specializing in postpartum mental-health issues. “Sleep deprivation and hormones exacerbate mood and anxiety symptoms. With new parenthood comes a heightened awareness that you’re suddenly not only responsible for yourself, but also a small child in what sometimes seems like a dangerous world.”

Dr. Venuto suggests a total news-media fast or at least a major reduction, corralling your news into 10 or 15 minutes (“In the morning! Not before bed!” she says), and then doing something pleasurable, like playing with your baby or calling a friend. For those worried that being out of touch means slacking off in their political activism, she gently suggests cutting yourself some slack: “If you’re a new parent, you’re not going to be making changes on a global scale. You’re in survival mode. You can put in a call to your representative, and that can be enough.”

Practice ‘Containment’

Lissa Hunsicker Kenney, a social worker in Brooklyn who counsels trauma survivors, also recommends “containment”—the first line of treatment for anxiety—as a first step. “Turning off your iPhone is containment—because it’s so easy for it to become uncontained. It just scrolls and scrolls, and it’s endless.”

So what are we supposed to do, instead? (Besides take care of our kids, I mean.) I asked Lifehacker readers, and my own new-mom friends, what media they turn to for good escapist distraction. I didn’t vet all the answers (though I did nix anything that had “horror” in its IMDB description—what about “non-disturbing” did these people not understand?) so do your own research before leaping into something totally unknown. They’re a good mix of classics, favorite sitcoms and adventure shows, a few kids’ shows and books, comics, and pretty much the entire oeuvre of the BBC.

Ideally, this list will remind of you of beloved books, TV shows, and movies that you’ve enjoyed in the past and will be soothing entertainment now, while you’re still in the sensitive new-parent stage. I read all of Jane Austen at night instead of mindless smartphone scrolling; others swear by sitcoms: “When my son was born we very quickly figured out we had to stop watching Breaking Bad and Walking Dead and just ended up re-watching Parks and Rec on a continuous loop for like three years,” one commenter wrote. Check out the original comments here, and please add your favorite comforting (no child-in-peril, no dead parents, no rapes or murders) media below.

TV & Movies

30 Rock

All Creatures Great and Small

Alias (a spy thriller spanning five seasons, so there are murders and occasional child-in-peril plotlines, but it’s a pretty campy show, so I didn’t find it especially distressing)

The Andy Griffith Show

Flip This House (or any fixer-upper/DIY type shows)

Any stupid Adam Sandler movie

Archer

Arrested Development

Black Adder

Black Books

Bob’s Burgers

Boondocks

Borgen

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (skipping “The Body” and maybe the second half of season five)

Catastrophe

Community

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

Critical Role on Geek and Sundry

Doctor Thorne (almost comically predictable, appropriate for anyone with only half a functioning brain, but any costume drama will do in a pinch. Check out this terrific resource for period dramas, but I strongly urge you to skip Call the Midwife if you have a newborn.)

Drunk History

Elimidate

Everybody Loves Raymond

Farscape

Father Ted

Friends

Futurama

Get Smart

Ghostbusters

Gilmore Girls

Gravity Falls

Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Laaaaaaaaaw

Hogan’s Heroes

How I Met Your Mother

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Kiki’s Delivery Service (“Miyazaki in general is a great way to escape into a different realm. The colors, the music, the gorgeous inventive artwork and the great characters in all his films makes him a master illusionist and conductor into a whole new world..” “…but not Grave of the Fireflies,” says another commenter.)

Broad City (“It’s hilarious and my life feels like a complete financial success by comparison.”)

King of the Hill

Last Man on Earth

Lucha Underground

M*A*S*H

The Mary Tyler Moore Show

Any stupid Adam Sandler movie

Archer
