So what did the Mayfair Witches look like? Other characters? It might be fun
to add more to this page, especially as (I hope) more characters in the Mayfair Witches series make it to the screen themselves...
Mary Beth Mayfair was said to resemble Joan Crawford.
Stella Mayfair was said to resemble Clara Bow.
 My Choice of Actress to Play Rowan Mayfair (several years ago):
Ashley Judd.
 One of my favorite actresses, Ashley Judd has the deep voice, great beauty and presence that makes me think "Rowan Mayfair".
To try to imagine what Rowan Mayfair actually looks like based upon the descriptions of her in the books, I think Ashley Judd
is the closest physical model of her. She is also the actress who would be able to portray her accurately and intelligently.
So, who did end up playing Rowan Mayfair?
In January 2023, AMC and AMC+ released Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches as a television series.
Season 1, based mostly on The Witching Hour, the first novel in the Lives of the Mayfair Witches series, cast
Alexandra Daddario as the main character, Rowan. However, the show does have some marked differences from the source material.
The first is that instead of naming the main character Rowan Mayfair in keeping with the novels, she was named Rowan Fielding.
The character retained the profession of neurosurgeon, making her Dr. Rowan Fielding. The image above shows Dr. Rowan Fielding
standing outside the Mayfair crypt during the entombment of her birth mother, Dierdre Mayfair. Behind her, you can see names
of other Mayfairs entombed in the crypt, and the name of one who is not.
Rowan Mayfair.
Dierdre and the rest of the Mayfair family were told Rowan had died at birth, though this was not true. Still, it was still
a moment that had an oddly chilling effect when I first saw the name of the character as it had been in the novels engraved
on the crypt.
What of the rest of the Mayfair Witches, then? Other characters in the novels? To answer that question, we need to start
by going to this page of the Parlor:
