The Mitford sisters

Coming of age in the politically charged 1930s, these six aristocratic sisters were born and raised in a remote country house in England. Without much interference from their rather eccentric parents, each sister grew up to be remarkable in her own way. 

There is one precise moment that can be identified as the first time the Mitford sisters made their mark in the bigger world: In 1932, Diana – the family beauty – left her rich husband to become the highly visible mistress of married fascist leader, Sir Oswald Mosley. This was an act that, in those days, was absolutely unheard of. Yet Diana didn’t care at all about the commotion her choice caused inside and outside of her family.
