Dolley Madison biopic filmed partly in Va. airs Monday

Bits of Richmond and Charlottesville will help tell the story of the political icon regarded as America's first first lady, Dolley Madison.

Tomorrow at 9 p.m., PBS' "American Experience" series will debut "Dolley Madison," a biopic about the woman whom director Muffie Meyer called, "probably the most important . . . of the 19th century."

The show was filmed on location last summer in Montpelier and Hanover County, with the set previously used for HBO's "John Adams" filling in for Philadelphia. A Richmond courthouse was used for many interior shots.

Dolley’s Heaving Bosom, Donated Cow Left Mark on White House

Review by Dave Shiflett

March 1 (Bloomberg) -- Today, Dolley Madison is synonymous with cupcakes and ice cream.

In her day, though, she created the role of First Lady and brought style and decorum to the festering mud hole of Washington, according to "Dolley Madison," an engrossing docudrama airing tonight on PBS at 9 p.m. New York time.

Eve Best plays James Madison’s wife as a raven-haired, red- cheeked babe with a soft Southern accent and a heaving bosom. She’s also got a tough side, leaving no doubt she could deck Scarlett O’Hara while sipping a cup of tea.
