We’ve got a successful architect with a history of doing things that he should not do. And a woman who married a rich man. Nothing scandalous there, except she was already sleeping with him while his first wife was sick and dying.
I’m talking about two characters we saw in season 1 of The Gilded Age who I’m sad to say will not be in season 2.
I didn’t want spoilers for myself for this season, but I had to check the IMDB page for the show because it made sense to me that by now, we would have seen the return of Stanford White and Sylvia Chamberlain. With Larry Russell’s architecture career taking off so quickly, I’m surprised that his mentor, Stanford White, isn’t in some of his scenes, giving a little guidance.
And with the money that Bertha Russell needs to raise for the new opera house, it seems like Sylvia Chamberlain might have made a good fit, or maybe she could have been a good friend to the old jezebel called Mrs. Blaine.
For whatever reason, neither character made it to the current season, but their real lives were so full of scandal that I hoped that the TV show would have explored them further.
Here are the stories of their real-life scandalous lives.
