"I think will be interesting to see how the show uses what Henry's last words were. "
They will probably work in some obscure mis quotes that have been passed down in history. If JRM's acting is any idication so far it should be an amazing scene. No pressure Jonny! Do you find this valuable?

He never spoke Anne Boleyns name after he killed her. What he said was that he was sorry for his treatment of the 'good queen'. But that is probably a reference to Katherine of Aragon. He also had flashbacks that he was still married to her so its the most likely. Do you find this valuable?

"It was Tallulah Bankhead and I don't think she was a prostitute, she was just under a lot of scrutiny for her bisexuality and numerous lovers. And some people say she said codeine instead of cocaine. Did you and your friend come across Oscar Wilde's last words? "Either that wallpaper goes, or I do." :)"
I have also read that Oscar Wilde who was dying and impoverished said, "I'm dying beyond my means." Do you find this valuable?

"Did he really? You got to love Oscar Wilde!"
Such an inventive man did not deserve such a sad end! Just because of his sexual orientation! Make me wonder if anyone would have been accepting of George Boleyn's and Mark Smeaton's affair? Still doubt very much it happened, but if it did, it was in a period long before Wilde's, where he was persecuted for it, and died in shame! Do you find this valuable?

"I used to have a book about famous last words. It's probably still around here someplace. Some of them are pretty amusing.
I don't remember the name of the soldier. It may even have been an officer. I think it was in the American Civil War. They were in the midst of a batlle and he was told to get down. He replied, "Don't be ridiculous; they couldn't hit an elephant at this dist_____"
hahahah oh thats sadly too funny! Do you find this valuable?

My two favorite quotes ever that I read were from Teddy Roosevelt's children:

Quinten Roosevelt to a reporter trying to trap the boy into giving information about his father (Teddy Roosevelt), Quentin admitted, "I see him occasionally, but I know nothing of his family life." (he was about 8 or 9 at the time)

Alice Lee Roosevelt (Teddy Roosevelt's oldest daughter) “If you can’t say something good about someone sit right here by me.”
 Do you find this valuable?
