11 Characters in 'The Gilded Age' Inspired by Real-Life Historical Figures

Created by Julian Fellowes, the mind behind Downton Abbey, HBO Max's hit historical drama The Gilded Age refers to the historical period in the late 19th century driven by rapid industrialization. During this time, industrialists amassed new fortunes, with nouveau riche families entering the high society scene. In the series, much of the drama is driven by the tension between old money and new money, which dominated the social circles of New York in real life back then.
