Mary & George, an upcoming queer period drama, has just released the first-look images of Julianne Moore in character. In this dramatic retelling of real-life British history, the actress plays Mary Villiers, a ruthless woman who used multiple avenues to rise to the height of English society — including bribing politicians and working with criminals.
But what this drama is really focused on is how he pushed her son George to become the lover of King James I (of England, aka James VI of Scotland), which led to him becoming the Duke of Buckingham, holding considerable power in court and leading some disastrous foreign campaigns.
