The limited series "The Lady" uncovers the shocking true story of Jane Andrews, a former dresser to Sarah, Duchess of York. Leaving her working-class roots in Grimsby for Buckingham Palace, Andrews became close to the Duchess, experiencing a rapid rise in social status. This fairytale existence shattered in 1997 when she lost her position, reportedly due to cost-cutting measures.
Her life spiraled, culminating in a violent incident in the early 2000s where she fatally stabbed her partner, Thomas Cressman, after he refused to marry her. Dubbed "The Fatal Attraction Killer" by the media, she was convicted of murder in 2001. The series features BAFTA-winning Mia McKenna-Bruce and acclaimed actress Natalie Dormer, promising a thought-provoking exploration of mental health and class prejudice.
