The actress does not like stereotypes about the Russian empress

The new season of The Great, written by Tony McNamara, also stars Belinda Bromilou, Phoebe Fox and Adam Godley. Both Fanning and Holt were nominated for a 2022 Emmy Award for their performance. Elle was preparing for the role and said she only knew about Catherine from negative rumours. The actress did not like it. He believes that vulgar talk about the Empress of Russia is an early form of gossip.

“That’s why I wanted to restore her name a little – to show how progressive she is in protecting science and women’s education, as the engine of Russian education, separating church and state. I keep hearing, “Catherine the Great? What a tyrant!” But I don’t know how accurate that is. He takes risks, but he has to work on himself. She is strong, but not always the strongest of all. She can be scheming and naive. She’s a girl and a woman,” Elle added in the interview.
