Ralph Fiennes & Dickens’ Last Love Affair
Ralph Fiennes’ “The Invisible Woman,” a feminist-minded romantic drama, will play at the 2013 Telluride Film Festival in a few weeks. The screenplay by Abi Morgan (“The Iron Lady“) is about a secret thirteen-year love affair between Charles Dickens (Fiennes) and the young actress Nelly Ternan (Felicity Jones). The affair between them began in 1857, when Dickens was 45, and ended with his death in 1870, from a stroke.
