I have only the VHS movie of it, so no individual pics, and Timothy Dalton was blonded up to play Mary Stuart's arranged marriage mate, and they produced James VI of Scotland, who also became James I of England. James, of course, was taken from Mary and raised as a Protestant and became King upon the death of Elizabeth I of England. Back to Daltonhe was great in this movie! Though blond, he was young and gorgeous as always. History does not deal kindly with Lord Darnley. He wanted to be the King behind Mary's throne. Even if Mary had been able to keep her throne, there were too many loyal Catholics behind her who would have prevented it. Thus, Lord Darnley's only real usefulness in history was to give England her next king through Mary. But Dalton's portrayal as a man willing to do anything to get power, including betraying Mary was well done. He played a simpering, whining, murderous man. I like him better with his own dark hair though. If you want to see him really made to be beautiful, watch "THE LION IN WINTER" where he plays Prince Philip of France. There are a couple of pics of him on that movie's site on IMDb. But then I think he is pretty much always gorgeous. And besides that, a really good actor.
