![]() ![]() In the novel, Lady Margot is less of a character and more of a catalyst for political intrigue. By simply putting Lady Margot in Dune: Part Two, and in such a prominent role, the film automatically alters her character by default. It’s a character full of surprises.”īecause Dune spoilers have been around since 1963, when the first installments of “Dune World” began appearing in the magazine Analog, it’s natural to wonder how a classic character, created by Frank Herbert could be “full of surprises.” And yet, Villeneuve is almost certainly telling the truth. Speaking to Vanity Fair, Villeneuve describes the role of Lady Margot like this: “Margot Fenring is a Bene Gesserit sister, but will be a secret agent in the movie. In a “first look” preview piece at Vanity Fair, we got our first image of Léa Seydoux as Lady Margot, a Bene Gesserit sister who is also married to Count Hasimir Fenring. In fact, based on recent comments made by the director, this character - as played by Léa Seydoux - may finally fix a longstanding plot hole from the classic Herbert books. Lady Margot Fenring, a relatively minor character in the pages of Dune, will be a major player in the forthcoming Denis Villeneuve film, Dune: Part Two. One character from Frank Herbert’s first 1965 Dune novel is getting a much bigger role in 2023. ![]()

![]() ![]() William Hague was leader of the Conservative Party in the UK, 1997-2001. William Hague's biography is comparable to Roy Jenkins's Life of Churchill – an eminent politician writing an Prime Ministerial life. He enjoyed huge success, yet died at the nadir of his fortunes, struggling to maintain a government beset by a thin majority at home and military disaster abroad he worked, worried and drank himself to death. Domestic crises included unrest in Ireland, deep division in the royal family and the madness of the King, and a full-scale naval mutiny. Pitt presided over dramatic changes in the country's finances and trade, brought about the union with Ireland, and directed the years of debilitating war with France. No British politician since then has exercised such supremacy for so long. ![]() ![]() Yet he annihilated his opponents in the General Election the following year and dominated the governing of Britain for twenty-two years.

This book exists to assert the reality of the famous. When Tinker Bell followed Peter Pan to Hollywood in the 1950s, fairies vanished into the realm of child-lore. The pictures were taken in 1917 by 16-year-old Elsie Wright and her nine-year-old cousin. In 1917, when the first two photographs were taken, Elsie was 16 years old and Frances was 9. The mystery of the Cottingley fairies would go on to endure for over 60 years until finally, in 1983, the two cousins admitted that the photographs had been faked using cut-out illustrations from a book.
