Titled The Bitter End, it will be the debut project of the new film study founded by the award -winning entertainment producer John Gore, 22 times Tony winner, as well as a recipient of two Emmy and two Oliviers.

In May, The Agels Star will celebrate its 92th birthday, but Dan Me Joan will not have time to have fun, since he begins to film the new feature film.

Dame Joan said: “I am delighted with the challenge of interpreting this iconic woman in a previously not told story and being on the initial list of John Gore Studios of what I am sure will be a very successful effort.”

The five times British married actress has adorned screens for more than seven decades and is considered one of the last surviving actors of the Hollywood Golden Age.

Meanwhile, as an American divorced who seduced a real British real, Wallis Simpson has been called Meghan Markle original.

Simpson was at the center of the most scandalous love story of the twentieth century when he entered a relationship and marriage with Prince Eduardo VIII, the prince of Wales and the heir of the throne.

Her obsession with Wallis subjected her to a murder of brutal character. She was called tempting and sorceress who had released a spell on the fairy tale prince to become a queen.

In 1936, Uncle Grandfather of King Charles Edward VIII chose to abdicate the throne to marry her.

The measure collided with his responsibilities as head of the Church of England, which caused a constitutional crisis that left the nation stunned and began a crack within the family that never healed.

The couple entered exile in France in Villa Windsor, a Parisian house of 14 rooms, where they received guests, including the British fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley and his wife Diana.

The Duke expected his exile to be brief, but he was never allowed to return to Great Britain, with his brother the new King Jorge VI threatening to cut his assignment if he tried to return without an invitation.

Edward’s health deteriorated in the 1960s and around 1971, the Duke, a strong smoker, was diagnosed with throat cancer.

The Netflix crown represented how, in May 1972, ten days before his death, Edward was visited by Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.

She spoke with him alone before appearing with just the Duchess for a photograph. Edward died on May 28, less than a month before his 78th birthday.

It was only after the death that the tension in the family seemed to dissipate and Edward’s body was returned to Great Britain, where he lay in the state in the chapel of San Jorge de Windsor Castle before his funeral.

Wallis died in 1986 at 89 years after years of fragility and suffered from dementia that led her to live as a prison.

The royal family allowed him to be buried with his late husband on Windsor land.
