Mr. Turner's housekeeper


After I saw the movie "Mr. Turner", I was curious to find out more about his "housekeeper" whom he sometimes seem to have sexual relations with. I was also curious about her skin condition, which seemed to have gotten worse by the end of the movie. I cannot find any reference to this mysterious person in Turner's life and wonder if the film makers put her in the movie as a fictitious character.

Hannay Danby was a real-life character, as portrayed in the film. She suffered from acute psoriasis, and was his housekeeper for almost 40 years.
