[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

There were NOT a lot of heavy women at that time.

Have you ever seen clothing from that era?

And 3 of the 5 sisters were too young to come out.  That means the oldest two were probably between 17 and 20 at the oldest.

They were not in their 30s as the 1995 women appeared to be.

Filming for the BBC series that was released in 1995 began in June 1994 when Jennifer Ehle, who was born in December 1969, was 25. [/quote]

She looks older than the character, who would have been an older teenager.[/quote]
