Maria Pawlowna, Großherzogin von Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach

[Vecchiolarry]

Hi Everyone,

FYI - Maria Pavlovna is portrayed by Martita Hunt in the old movie "Song Without End" about Franz Liszt.  Dirk Bogart plays Liszt.
In the movie, there's a funny scene at a concert, where Maria chides Nicholas I about being a 'dull conservative'.....  And, when he's nearly asleep - "Wake up, Nicky, you're missing out on life!"....  Too funny!!!
