I completely agree!! Nellie Bly is one of my heroes, and I study the Victorian era a lot, and seeing about how popular ahe was, why does nobody know who she is anymore!?
She is so cool! She also wrote a series of adventure novels, married a millionaire, patented a couple of inventions, and became a literal *war corespondent* in her later years. If someone made a show about her they would not be hurting for material haha.
Todays peoples need to be encouraged to read a lot more about anything. If they snoop around, then they would see what they would also like, and all this would certainly be much liked by many of them too.
I've always wanted to see a movie about the celtic warrior queen Boudicca, but unfortunately there's only one bad low budget one out there. I can't understand why we don't already have a major blockbuster movie about her??
@@susanthefish2559I think they mean how writers (who are woke) would represent her in a woke social justice warrior type way. Basically she would need to check all intersectionality boxes equaling out to the highest possible most victimized character. Instead of whatever is most appropriate for the time and area the story takes place she’d need to be (for example) a black indigenous mute non binary autistic trans woman. Instead of giving people their own story - which I think is insulting really to all parties-Hollywood believes somehow racism (or whatever intersectionality ist & ism BS is latest hot button issue) is solved by being racist to white people. I believe it’s Ibram X Kendi who says past racism is solved by current racism which is solved by future racism. Its is unfortunate but true in today’s social climate. I truly would love to see a true well done big budget historical film/show on Boudicca & other strong women. Just the costumes alone…❤amazing. I love streaming historical shows from ancient to future times - everything is brought together especially with costumes with, hair & just all textures & layers creating well one decadent picture of 1 slice of historical life. Anyway hope it helps with what I think the other response was about. 😃😊
I’ve always been surprised no one made one about Zitkala Sa! I mean, the script practically writes itself and she wrote extensively about every part of her life.
Could you do a little bit of videos about edwardian/victorian blue collar and middle class women?? As beautiful as the wealthy dresses are, itd be really helpful to get a better picture to what the average person wore
Nellie Bly! I read a biography of her when I was 10, and became a fan then, back in 1970. She would make a fine subject for not just a movie, but a Ken Burn's PBS documentary, imo.
I heard "serial" heiress, not cereal heiress and was like, "Dang! How did she get multiple heiress-hoods?" 😂😂 I also need sleep.😂😊 But I agree! Show me the silver screen with those dresses!❤❤
i have fully given up hope of seeing more than like, two really good historical pieces that doesn't take a bunch of insulting liberties or think the period fashion isn't sexy enough.
I’d love one on Lotta Crabtree (the highest paid female performer in the US of her time. She bought a racehorse from my great great grandfather that was treated with love and kindness and her trainer whipped him and he never won another race. 😢 it’s noted that she never married and left most of her money to the care of animals…. I wonder if the race horse was a part of why…..❤
A period drama about women in baseball- A league of Our Own. Not the exact period you were desiring, but still an amazing movie with killer fashion! ☺️
I'd like to see an adaptation of Caroline Norton's life. She was a hugely important figure in significantly advancing women's rights in the mid Victorian era. I'm also astonished that the Tenant of Wildfell Hall was last adapted nearly 30 years ago. Agnes Grey has never been adapted for film or TV.
Did you ever read the Alchemy of Murder Series? Its a mostly fictional mystery novel trilogy about Nellie Bly where she falls in love Jules Verne (who irl wouldve been an old fart at the time) and Oscar Wilde is her gay bestie. Together they solve the Jack the Ripper case, meet Ida B Wells and cure syphills (which contrary to the rumors, Oscar wilde didnt die of) the books are a bit wacky, but i enjoyed them my summers in college.
We need a movie about Clara Driscoll. She grew up in South Texas. Her life was pretty much unbelievable at the turn of the century. She was sent to New York (if I remember correctly) for finishing school. When to college and when to Europe as a young woman and decided to hang out during the Spanish Revolution. She payed off the mortgage on the Alamo and hosted John Wayne at the Driscoll Hotel in Corpus Christi Texas. That’s just a drop in the bucket!
I actually went to the private school Ms. Post went to! I've been hiking over on the part of campus thats the land that family donated. It's so cool to hear someone talk about her!
Random but I play a game called time princess that has a "choose you own adventure" story book loosely based on the first lady called gotham memoirs. But it's set in the 1920s instead
I heard about a woman who wanted to be a reporter. I don't know her name but she was the one who looked into what happens in the woman's insane asylums in New York. It was on an island. She pretended to be an insane person JUST TO GET IN. And she found inside the most horrid conditions and treatment towards the people. Some of them were people from abroad who came to America for whatever reason but couldn't speak the language on the streets with other people. And that was enough to take them in. The kind of torture what they had to endure would make a normal person insane too. She exposed the awful truth about the asylums of America to the world what saved the people inside and also forced their system and treatment to be changed. I would really love to see a serious but inspiring movie about her story because DEAR GOD, that woman was a savior of the people back then.
In the latest BBC version of 'Around the World in Eighty Days', the writers (Ashley Pharaoh and Caleb Ranson) incorporated the character of a female journalist, as a direct nod to Nellie Bly.
I’ve watched all the Nellie Bly docs about her stay on that island including the drunken history episode lol and the fuller length versions of this were so upsetting I had to stop watching bc my anxiety was through the roof lol. I sometimes wonder if my absurd fear of being forcibly institutionalized just for being a woman is some weird, neurological or primordial reaction that’s just built into my genetic makeup lol. w stuff out there like hand maidens tale it is a shock we don’t have a major motion pic or critically acclaimed series out about her yet.
Question: Who was the 1st woman (girl) officer that began as an (official) enlisted woman soldier (volunteer); was awarded the rank of second lieutenant after being wounded 2 times on the frontlines (and due to her education); commanded a unit of men into battle and died in a frontal assault, while leading her men ahead of them? hint: ww1, European.
The Doctor Who audio drama by Big Finish "The Lost Resort and Other Stories" has an hour long, full cast adventure about Nellie Bly's trip around the world!
It might have been made for TV but there was a movie about Nellie Bly in fact I remember two of them one of them was made quite a long time ago (can't find the listing) and one in 2019.
I think I read a book once about Nellie Bly - did she pretend to be sick to get institutionalized in a mental health facility, for research? Foggy memory, but I do remember liking the book. 😊
Oh! Or Eliza Lucas!! She ran an indigo operation in 1700s South Carolina and when she married and had sons, those sons were included in the group we now call “founding fathers” ❤ Edited to add Lotta Crabtree- highest paid female performer of the gold rush era. My 2x great grandpa sold her a champion racehorse and his main instruction was NEVER to whip the horse. Her trainer did and the horse never won another race. She never married and after the horse incident she ended up donating most of her fortune to the humane treatment of animals and women’s education. There is a scholarship in her name still to this day….
Pitch your ideas to an educational channel. There must at least one of them who will do it. Although I think PBS did a story on Nelly Bly, I'm not sure if they did a documentary on her whole life.
Pedro and Ines Story. Star crossed lovers. She was his mistress and friend to his wife. His father ( the King) has her killed as well as her kids. He then rebelled against his father and starts a war. After he’s king, he pursues her killers and kills then all personally ( one gets his heart ripped from his chest)!! He then takes her from her tomb and has the whole court kiss her ( dead for years!) recognising her as their Queen … That’s a story !!!
Sooo Marjorie Merriweather Post was legendarily creepy to us students at Long Island University C.W. Post Campus. One of the most heavily punishable rules you could possibly break was being at all mean/aggressive/harmful to the cats that lived there. This is bc of Marjorie’s fascination with the ring of lightning rods behind the garden of the mansion at one end of an arched brink pathway (as students we called this place the “Seven Gates to Hell” as there were seven arches to walk through leading to the lightning rods, and supposedly if you called for Marjorie Merriweather under each ache, aka gate, walking towards the rods, she would haunt every dream you had while on campus until graduation - that shit scares me so I did not participate). The reason behind all of it was bc Marjorie had allegedly strung up & sacrificed over 300 cats to those rods as she wanting to know what happened to bodies when electrocuted via lightning rods. It didn’t matter if the cat was still alive at the time of the lightning strike bc she was interested in the outcome of all stages of life & death. Since I left campus in 1999, they have formed a new veterinary program that gives the “stray(?)” cats that still call Post & the surrounding area home and services all of their healthcare needs for free.
Ive had a big day n when i started to watch this n she said "Period Dramas" i thought it was literally "Periods" lol not time lines 😂 🤣 i think i need more sleep lol
I absolutely NEED to see a movie about Peter the greats oldest son Alexei and the seed girl he fell in love with and forfeited his crown for. Technically there’s a Russian one, but no subtitles and they make her kinda lame.

@thesewloartist one thing you could do with skills is wardrobe for theater. You do some absolutely make some beautiful pieces ❤❤
Christina Ricci played Nellie Bly in something, if I'm remembering correctly. I think it was a miniseries.🤔
I've always wanted to see a movie about the celtic warrior queen Boudicca, but unfortunately there's only one bad low budget one out there. I can't understand why we don't already have a major blockbuster movie about her??
not a movie but if you want a fab representation of boudicca check out horrible histories 🔥
She would have to be Woke, multisexual, Black or Asian, with a twist of vegetarian on the side.
@@flouisbailey????? She's a Celtic queen?? What are you talking about??

Your comment inspired me to look her up and woah yeah we NEED this period drama!!
I Love Marjorie Merriweather Post!!!
If you're ever in D.C. I highly recommend visiting her Hillwood Estate museum.
Could you do a little bit of videos about edwardian/victorian blue collar and middle class women?? As beautiful as the wealthy dresses are, itd be really helpful to get a better picture to what the average person wore

Excellent idea!
Ada Lovelace!
I would love to see a film about Juliet Gordon-low and her mission to bring scouting to the girls of America.
THANK YOU!!!! EVERYONE START TAGGING PRODUCERS YOU KNOW lmao 😍✨
Spot on!!! My vote goes to Matilda of Tuscany. Incredible. The 1995 version of The Buccaneers is pretty fun. 😄
I heard "serial" heiress, not cereal heiress and was like, "Dang! How did she get multiple heiress-hoods?" 😂😂 I also need sleep.😂😊 But I agree! Show me the silver screen with those dresses!❤❤
I did too!!!! 😂 i said “A serial WHAT?!” and played the short over again!
I love her book 10 Days In A Madhouse. I got it on Amazon if anyone is interested. It’s so good! She was incredibly brave.
Alice Roosevelt for me! Would’ve loved to have met that woman, but a biopic will have to do.
Yup..Nelly Bly should be a household name ... A trailblazer!
i have fully given up hope of seeing more than like, two really good historical pieces that doesn't take a bunch of insulting liberties or think the period fashion isn't sexy enough.
There's so many historically, amazing stories that have not been tapped at all!!!
That last dress reminds me so much of Kaylee's dress in Firefly. I wonder if that was the inspiration for her party dress.
I need a alice roosvelt serius RIGHT NOW
I would add to your list Dr Mary Walker. She was the first and only female Medal of Honor recipient.
One about Ida B. Wells would be incredible too! More period dramas based on badass women period really.
Omg a series on her would be awesome! Yessssss!!!
Absolutely! I have not been able to understand why Nellie has not been the subject of a big movie! She was amazing! Courage! Adventure!
Wow I love those dresses so much detail. They have lots of details and interesting
When you said baseball I thought a "League of their own" with Tom Hanks I loved that movie when I was younger and still like baseball. 😅
Love this, and would add Babe Didrikson Zaharian. Between her and Hedy Lamar have always fascinated me.
A League of Their Own is about some of the first female baseball players 😅 it's really good from what I remember
These ladies needs to be a puppet history episode.
Can we get a Disney Princess movie about Khutulun??? Absolute savage girlboss
I love Nellie Bly. She is a heroine!
Okay, Mrs Blue Bonnet here has 💫impeccable💫 taste.
Nellie Bly is awesome!!! We definitely need that period Drana
I love all of these! I felt the same when I learned about the founding of my sorority. I was like… I want a film about these women!! 😍🤩
We also should get a period drama about Jenny Churchill
Nellie Bly was the main inspiration for the character of Katherine in the Broadway musical Newsies, a little tidbit for any of my theatre nerds ❤
I swear, that last dress looked like somebody just sewed a bunch of tassels together
God those last dresses they’re so feminine and beautiful, I would definitely wear the first and second
A Nellie bly TV series would be amazing
My god, they choose the perfect look a-like
That last dress gives me like a Victorian version of the Yule ball dress, all the pink ruffles/layers
If you’d like a movie about early women’s baseball, I strongly recommend “A League of Our Own”! It’s an awesome, very quotable movie!
Yes it’s so good!
I’d love one on Lotta Crabtree (the highest paid female performer in the US of her time. She bought a racehorse from my great great grandfather that was treated with love and kindness and her trainer whipped him and he never won another race. 😢 it’s noted that she never married and left most of her money to the care of animals….

Georgious dresses!!

This is totally not what I thought you were talking about. I didn’t even realize it until halfway through the video. Almost to the end.😂
I would love this!!!! I need all those dresses, stat!
Evryone here should watch "Iron Jawed Angels"
Its a wee bit cheesy but its some good period feminist drama
That last dress…😳😍
love Nellie Bly. what an incredible figure
I'd like to see an adaptation of Caroline Norton's life. She was a hugely important figure in significantly advancing women's rights in the mid Victorian era.
I'm also astonished that the Tenant of Wildfell Hall was last adapted nearly 30 years ago. Agnes Grey has never been adapted for film or TV.

We need a movie about Clara Driscoll. She grew up in South Texas. Her life was pretty much unbelievable at the turn of the century.

I agree 100% with what you said but also I feel like any attempt at correctly costuming actresses in the show is going to be sketchy.
I think we need to see you make those dresses of Ms Post. 😅
A league of her own
I actually went to the private school Ms. Post went to! I've been hiking over on the part of campus thats the land that family donated. It's so cool to hear someone talk about her!
Random but I play a game called time princess that has a "choose you own adventure" story book loosely based on the first lady called gotham memoirs. But it's set in the 1920s instead
Lovely, do you make it accurate or just impersonation style?
She was an absolute legend
Wow those were some beautiful dresses and thank you for giving me this info now i got to go and look into these great women you talked about ❤
Love Edwardian women wardrobe
I’d love to see them too!!

i love nellie bly ohmygosh i read a book about her and it was so cool
You can visit Marjorie Merriweather Post's house in DC, its gorgeous and filled with incredible things.
Nelly bly story with Christina ricci was incredible! It’s was called escaping the madhouse and it’s on prime
In the latest BBC version of 'Around the World in Eighty Days', the writers (Ashley Pharaoh and Caleb Ranson) incorporated the character of a female journalist, as a direct nod to Nellie Bly.
Yes Nelly ❤❤❤❤ I’ve heard of her
Yes please!!!!
The last dress u showed kinda looked like a fancier version of hermione’s dress at the yule ball or is it just me?
I’ve watched all the Nellie Bly docs about her stay on that island including the drunken history episode lol and the fuller length versions of this were so upsetting I had to stop watching bc my anxiety was through the roof lol.

Nellie Bly made an appearance in the Ossie Nash movie
Pedro and Ines Story.
Star crossed lovers.
She was his mistress and friend to his wife.
His father ( the King) has her killed as well as her kids. He then rebelled against his father and starts a war.
After he’s king, he pursues her killers and kills then all personally ( one gets his heart ripped from his chest)!!
He then takes her from her tomb and has the whole court kiss her ( dead for years!) recognising her as their Queen …
That’s a story !!!
I've sung a song about Nelly Bly in choir, so that's a thing.
Cast Millie Bobby Brown as Nelly Bly…I swear she’s the spitting image!
Omg Nellie Bligh yes
Write a "Treatment" and shop it around. If you want to see it other would too.

Day one of asking to do a outfit in the 1820s
There was that movie about female baseball players with Gina Davis, Madonna and Tom hanks in it . Can’t remember the name of it tho
🎵 "Nellie Bly caught a fly. Tied it to a string String broke,cut its throat Poor little thing".
Can someone please help me understand why the lady on the movie poster looks more like Rashida Jones than the actual actress? 🤔🤷♀️
Ive had a big day n when i started to watch this n she said "Period Dramas" i thought it was literally "Periods" lol not time lines 😂 🤣 i think i need more sleep lol
I hate sports, but the other two ladies sound very interesting for movies, as long as they don’t cover Nelly Bly in the insane asylum again!
I absolutely NEED to see a movie about Peter the greats oldest son Alexei and the seed girl he fell in love with and forfeited his crown for. Technically there’s a Russian one, but no subtitles and they make her kinda lame.
YES I DID A PROJECT ABOUT NELLIE BLY I LOVE HER
Isn’t Merriweather-Post the woman that built Mar-A-Lago?
Wondering if Around the World in 80 days with Steve Coogan was about Nellie ??
Also Virginia Hall and Nancy White
