I enjoyed this immensely! Wonderfully done, as if I were listening to the real Mary Todd Lincoln.
I am imagining myself having tea with Mrs. Lincoln while she tells her story. I am a widow too. I understand the emptiness. I wish I could hop in a time machine and just listen and be a friend.
Love this. This portrayal of Mary is how I always pictured her. When someone suffers so much tragic loss has to breakdown somehow. I think Robert wanted her to get help and rest. I believe Mary might have had form of depression since the loss of her Mom..Shopping or, hoarding later is from loss....I enjoyed this, thank you!🇺🇸
Agree with every point you made!
Maybe Mr. Lincoln was following tradition. Molly was a traditional nickname for Mary, the same way that Peggy was (and still is) a nickname for Margaret.
they love each other and supported each other there life was sad losing children so young
Such a lovingly expressed (deeply researched) portrayal of Mary Todd Lincoln [Miss Pamela has her blessing, I believe]. So ahead of her time!
I was always curious as to why he always called her “mother” as well
Neat
Great actress...to be pedantic..born in Lexington, Kentucky and living there as a child, couldn't we expect a little Southern accent. She was an academic and spoke fluent French so maybe the drawl could have been extinguished somewhat.
I occasionally heard a southern drawl.
I vaguely recall reading that the accents/dialects were different before the civil war than what they were after reconstruction. Especially with wealthy people.
@@Nyx773 Very interesting, because when they try to replicate Lincoln's accent there never seems to be much of southern touch, he was dirt poor of course. Gone with the Wind, the movie, obviously flies in the face of this. PS I am not even American but can differentiate some different accents from the South, I have TN pretty much down pat.
Hi Jessie!
Great acting. As true to mrs Lincoln as we will ever see. But that's just my opinion.
It's sad that you feel the need to state "just my opinion". Please work on your self esteem. State your comments with confidence, not apologies.
I wish folks would lay off picking on Mary. She had her moments,
100%...been given such a bad rap for living thru the toughest time in history
History has treated Mrs Lincoln very badly.....There are three things we know 1. she suffered unbelievable tragedy 2. She was a supreme patriot. 3. She loved her husband, undoubtable the most famous president, deeply,. Guiding him through the most traumatic period.....As a first lady I rank her right up there. Grifters such as H Clinton at the bottom.
She did have a habit of excessive overspending and perhaps using her position to enrich herself.
I agree she had unimaginable tragedy.
@@LibertyStation92106 there is a theory that it was an author in the 1930s that promoted the excessive spending stuff and this has been blown out of all proportion. revisionist history has run with it....and is all she is known for
She was a spoiled southern rich girl, who marry beneath her station, she married for love! Poverty was part of the price!
spoiler alert !!!!!! They dont interview the real Mary Lincoln at any time during this broadcast nor do they include any videos of other interviews she had done so its pretty much left to your imagination while their puppet told these stories.
She's been dead for way over 100 years
They didn't have video technology when Mrs. Mary Todd Lincoln was alive, so that would be miraculous! 😂😂 We do have many writings, pictures etc to go by! Any rendition today will be done by actors!
