Out of all of the current players in New York City society, here are the 10 best characters on TheGildedAge, ranked.
If there’s one thing that Julian Fellowes has proven time and time again, it’s that audiences just can’t stay away from a frothy period drama. Several years after the conclusion of his mega-hit Downton Abbey, he’s back at it with The Gilded Age, set amidst the staggering opulence of New York City during the late 1800s.
RELATED: Carrie Coon & Morgan Spector on ‘The Gilded Age,’ Julian Fellowes' Writing, and the Challenges of Period Costumes 8. Larry Russell Larry seems great, but we’re still getting to know him, aren’t we? The only son of the social-climbing Russell family, Larry’s sort of like a big, friendly puppy dog. A student at Harvard College, he is developing the connections that will help his parents reach the upper echelon of New York society.
5. Marian Brook Marian Brook is our pure-of-heart heroine, so it makes sense that she would rank pretty highly. After her father dies, leaving her with nothing, she moves in with her wealthy aunts in Manhattan and is introduced to the upper echelons of New York society. Despite her pedigree, she puts little stock in the strict social rules that dictate the lives of her new friends and acquaintances.
2. Peggy Scott The sole Black woman in a Manhattan neighborhood that is otherwise lily-white, Peggy Scott is a fascinating character. She is the daughter of a solidly upper-middle-class family, well-educated and eager to pursue a career as a writer. As the new secretary to Agnes van Rhijn, who apparently has so much correspondence that she needs a second pair of hands, she is a consummate professional and fast friend to Marian Brook.
