[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The “pretty” sister in the Firth version really isn’t pretty. [/quote]

She's pretty for 1813![/quote]

It’s distracting having Jane not be beautiful since everyone is always commenting on her beauty. [/quote]

The actor playing Jane would indeed have been considered beautiful at that time. Here is a picture of her contemporary, Louise of Prussia, who was said to be the most beautiful woman in Europe.

I also really appreciated this about the 1995 version. They found actresses who really held to the beauty standards of the time in a way most of the productions don’t bother with doing.  [/quote]

I disagree.

They were a lot heavier than women of the time, and they were also much older looking than the actual characters in the book.[/quote]
