Lucrezia Borgia . . .

. . . the Pope's daughter, is played by actress Holliday Grainger (pictured here) on the Showtime series, "The Borgias."  I've just seen the first season on Netflix and find it worthwhile for the spectacle, if nothing else.  If one is not familiar with these Renaissance names, such as the Orsinis, the Colonnas, and the della Roveres, it might be difficult to follow the plot.  I also have some reservations about the historical accuracy of some of the plot developments.  But the costumes are wonderful!
