Susannah Harker fits the Regency beauty ideal perfectly, as she looks a bit like an old statue or painting. I despise the costume Elizabeth wears. No need to register, buy now!
I have both versions and I rather prefer P&P 1995 version than 2005 version. Huge collection, amazing choice, 100+ million high quality, affordable RF and RM images. Her wit and clarity of character depiction is portrayed brilliantly by the actors. Love, love this version. She is a classical rather than a modern beauty. It was...Iain Glen's family: mother, father, siblings (brother), wife and kids. And besides, SH's Jane just captures Jane better in my mind. However, I recently read 'Northanger Abbey' where I recall Mr. Thorpe often speaking with contractions. I really feel the story Jane Austen wrote. I agree that Susannah Harker is more Jane than Rosamund Pike is - she is more elegant, calm and is undeniably beautiful. This is probably late, but my sister and I fell in love with the 1995 P&P and came to the same conclusion about Jane. - Explore Kinga Orsolya Lengyel's board "Susannah Harker & Polly Adams. " Not only her face being the epitome of beauty for the period, but her elegance, reserve and angelic grace combine to make her the perfect Jane Bennett. There are those people who seem to come from another time and Susannah is one of them, she doesn't have a modern beauty, but an old fashioned one. Sort of like Jennifer as Jane but fair haired, an English Rose.
Susannah Harker has a similar beauty.I don't disagree with everything in the original post, but there is one thing I disagree strongly with: that modern and regency (and even ancient) beauty standards were so different that someone who was "pretty" back then wouldn't look "pretty" to us now. When I saw Rosamund Pike as Jane Bennet I knew right off she just wasn't the one. What a mess! GOOD Morning Britain host Susanna Reid flashed her flesh to viewers as she showed off the back of her dress - prompting co-presenter Piers Morgan to accuse her of being "basically naked."
she is described to have "dark eyes." susannah doyle nude. . I don't know how accurate that post is, but it's a good place to start.A bit late reply, perhaps, but I've been wondering over this issue my self for some time.
It was many hours longer than any movie and enabled a much more in depth telling of this classic. Knightley's Elizabeth was intensely irritating. I agree wholeheartedly with the original blogger. I have seen both several times. She is an actress, known for House of Cards (1990), A Dry White Season (1989) and Pride and Prejudice (1995). Mary was plain.she does give a bit of description. I think I have seen her face on a cameo before. I hadn't thought about the fact that more people actually say that Lizzie is pretty.
:)Hi. did the English in that time period of P & P use contractions in their speech? I have admired her beauty and the serenity of her expression (as befitted her character) every time I watched the series. I believe Susannah Harker was chosen as Jane in the 1995 version partially, at least, for her similarity to Lady Diana, who at the time was considered one of the great beauties in the world (I agree with this, it was more the whole package of her than classic beauty based on her facial features alone).I ABSOLUTELY agree with the very last comment. And based on everything you stated here, she would be the better choice for Jane Bennet.Exactly! She's supposed to be the most beautiful woman in the vicinity and she's not even the most beautiful in her immediate family.You forgot to mention that Rosamunda is cross-eyed. Darcy, who has been off to Cambridge, where there would be many camp followers, and who has a house in town, describes Lizzie as "one of the handsomest women of my acquaintance."
;)Who thinks Jane the prettiest? Stay safe and healthy. I just saw the old 1995 BBC version on OXYGEN.

I will remain unconvinced.
