In Popular Culture
Canadian actress Krystin Pellerin portrayed Darrell in several episodes of The Tudors second season. Her fate is however dramatically altered. Instead of returning to royal service after the death of her mistress as is historically accurate, Darrell hangs herself from the beams of her mistresses former home. The show is correct however in portraying Darrell and Wyatts affair. This is the only known portrayal of Elizabeth Darrell in popular culture.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“The poet will prevail to be popular in spite of his faults, and in spite of his beauties too. He will hit the nail on the head, and we shall not know the shape of his hammer. He makes us free of his hearth and heart, which is greater than to offer one the freedom of a city.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“No race has the last word on culture and on civilization. You do not know what the black man is capable of; you do not know what he is thinking and therefore you do not know what the oppressed and suppressed Negro, by virtue of his condition and circumstance, may give to the world as a surprise.”
—Marcus Garvey (1887–1940)
