According to Elizabeth A. Ford and Deborah C. Mitchell, images of Elizabeth I move: "fast-forward across film history, unforgettable, iconic images: the stately bearing; the red wigs; the high forehead; the long, aristocratic nose; the alabaster makeup; the pearl-drop earrings; the stiff, ornate ruffs; the fingers dripping with jewels; and the gowns, with yards and yards of white satin, purple velvet, gold, and silver ornamented and sparkling with rubies, diamonds, and more pearls. Even a schoolchild would be hard-pressed to mistake her for any other monarch."<ref>{{Cite book |last=Ford |first=Elizabeth A. |title=Royal Portraits in Hollywood: Filming the Lives of Queens |last2=Mitchell |first2=Deborah C. |date=2009 |pages=226–94}} See pp. 126–56 For Mary Queen of Scots.</ref>
