Beatriz Martínez as Archduchess Sophie in “El vuelo del águila” (1994)
The Archduchess may, too, have avoided the western side of the park, near the zoological gardens; for a tale, which Sophie’s letters show troubled her over several years, maintained that her husband’s younger sister Archduchess Marianna - only seven months older than Sophie - owed the hideous disfigurement of her face and her virtual imbecility to a prenatal incident when her mother was startled by an escaped orangutan while walking in the gardens. In 1830 Archduchess Marianna was still living at Schonbrunn, a rarely seen presence secluded in the labyrinth of smaller rooms.

She was described as a very dignified consort and hostess of the Bavarian court, and raised her daughters to have a strong sense of duty. Sophie adored her mother greatly and was truly devastated by her death.
