I had to search some of the actors’ names as I don’t remember the spelling and some I forgotten the name.

Vee

Do you have a favourite Luthien84?

Lúthien84

I have watched all the adaptations except for R and I love them all. Although the storyline is similar, each film/mini-series offer something different like the glorious setting and unique perspective of the main characters.

Vee

Yes I couldn’t agree more. I get so excited when a new one is being released! Wonder when we’re due for the next one 😉 I’ve recently discovered a very old Sense and Sensibility which I loved watching ( Elinor was played by a very young Joanna David aka Mrs Gardiner 1995)
Northanger Abbey (R) is very creepy, but well made 🙂

Lúthien84

I heard there is a new Jane Austen film based on Lady Susan which is in the works. It’s called Love and Friendship. If I’m not wrong, Sienna Miller is taking the lead as Lady Susan.

Stephanie L

Um, yeah, I know who they all are as characters, not as actors. Vee, that is absolutely amazing! The only one that gave me pause was R. Very very cool!!

Vee

Thanks Stephanie! I love any adaptation of Jane Austen’s novels and I’ve watched them all many times. But I did enlist the help of the internet for many of the real names. It was good fun 🙂

Great fun Sharon! I love all these adaptations and more! I had to check the date and names on most of them though!

Vee

Haha thanks Sharon, the characters were easy but there’s no way I would have remembered all of their real names and even some of the dates without checking. It was good fun!
