Set at the end of the eighteenth century, The Duchess is the story of the beautiful and, glamorous Georgiana Spencer, the most fascinating woman of the age.

While her beauty and charisma made her name, her extravagant tastes and appetite for gambling and love made her infamous. Married young to the older, distant Duke of Devonshire, intimate of ministers and princes, Georgiana became a fashion icon, a doting mother, a shrewd political operator and darling of the common people. But at the core of her story is a desperate search for love.

From Georgiana’s passionate and doomed affair with Earl Grey to the complex ménage à trois with her husband and her best friend, Lady Bess Foster, The Duchess is a very contemporary tale of fame, notoriety and the search for love.

Aussie actor and singer Jason Donovan is all set to release his first album in fifteen years, called ‘Let It Be Me’.

The new album, which has been inspired by music from the late 1950s and early 1960s, comes after a long gap from his last album, ‘All Around the World’, which stayed at number 27 on the UK charts in 1993.

‘Let It Be Me’ features new versions of classic songs like Blue Velvet, Love Hurts and Smoke Gets In My Eyes, the BBC reported.

Added to the work on the new album, is the reworked old hit ‘Sealed With a Kiss’ and written new track ‘Dreamboats’ and ‘Petticoats’.

Donovan, 40, has had hit songs like ‘Too Many Broken Hearts’ in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and has enjoyed a TV comeback in recent years. (ANI)
