Description:
Following her mother's death by execution, young Bess grows up to become England's most celebrated queen: the intelligent and resourceful Queen Elizabeth I. Jean Simmons stars as Bess in this sweeping film, depicting the challenging and perilous years of her life leading up to her surprising rise to power at the age of 25. Charles Laughton returns as her powerful father, Henry VIII, in his Academy Award®-winning role. Deborah Kerr plays Catherine Parr, Henry's final wife and Bess's stepmother. And Stewart Granger, Simmons’ then-husband, portrays Lord Admiral Thomas Seymour as a heroic figure. Set against a backdrop of adventure, romance, and courtly schemes, Young Bess tells the story of a queen in the making.
