==Production== [[Angela Lansbury]] was offered the role of Mary Wallace, but had to drop out when her husband became ill. Lady Hester Random is based upon a real resident of Florence whom Zeffirelli knew in his childhood. Zeffirelli mentions her and a couple of other ladies of the ''Scorpioni'' in his autobiography. He said: "I don't remember if she was called Hester, but I remember this terrible, fantastic woman. She was the dowager of the community. I remember the many outrageous things she did because she could afford to be arrogant and bossy."<ref>{{cite book |last1=Zeffirelli |first1=Franco |title=Zeffirelli: An Autobiography |date=September 1, 1986 |publisher=Grove Pr}}</ref>
