I've never seen that painting of MA at the piano, Grand Duke. Is it a very famous one or no?

Axel Fersen, planned and financed the ill fated flight to Varennes.   He was a Swedish Count, and minister to the King, I believe he rose highly in the Swedish King, to Grand Marshal of the Kingdom.  He also never forgot 16 Oct 1789.  He writes about it in his diary each passing year, undoubtedly Marie Antoinette was the love of his life.

On the sudden death of the heir apparent he was mistakenly believed to have poisoned him, and at his funeral on the 20 June 1810, Fersen was attacked by a mob and beaten to death.  The heir was not poisoned, and died of an apoplectic attack.  He never recovered the funds promised him from helping the King & Queen
escape France, however he did see Madame Royale in Vienna once if not twice, but the Hapsburgs did not want him near the Princess.

maybe everyone knows about this but i thought it was cute and wanted to mention it:

when mozart was 6 and was taken to the maria theresa court to play, he played so well that maria theresa was impressed and congratulated him and asked what he wanted (you know, as a reward)... he said 'to marry her!' and pointed to marie antoinette Cheesy

I've heard different versions of this story. One has Mozart falling on the stage and MA helping him up so he pledges to marry her. Also, Maria Theresa kissed him, and when he was performing at another court and the Queen there would not kiss him he said 'But the Empress did!'

On a side note, I recently read on wikipedia that Antonia Fraser's Marie-Antoinette: The Journey is being made into a film, with Kirsten Dunst as MA.

Who is playing Fersen?? I admit to finding Tyrone Power a bit "hot" when I saw him play Fersen on the 1936(??) version of marie antoinette with Norma Shearer.
