Ladies of color in period dramas

When I reblogged this lovely picspam, I noticed (and notabuddhist pointed out) how white our classic period drama protagonists tend to be. This is my awkward response to that observation, a celebration of ladies of color in period dramas. (Mostly awkward because my photoshop skills are close to nil). I think all of these actresses are amazing, but I can’t vouch for the quality of all of these films/shows, as I haven’t seen all of them. 
In short, hooray for women of color in our costume dramas! Please have more of them in the future.
