1997 Interview Samantha Morton on Playing Jane Eyre, Archive Footage

[@johncarey4186]

I just saw this movie today, first time. This woman is an excellent actor. So blessed to have that talent.

[@SarahLouiseA]

Her performance as Jane Eyre perfectly demonstrated that quiet, composed strength and dignity that so attracted Mr Rochester!

[@itsshahd2695]

She was the perfect Jane Eyre. Great performance.

[@d.leighannbatemon3192]

She is my favorite Jane Eyre! I could tell she loved the story and character so much.

[@frostylunetta]

She is my favourite Jane Eyre

[@sohara....]

*Yes, so heartfelt... and Ruth Wilson too ....*

[@mariakristinahawl1640]

The best Jane Eyre! Wonderful actress!!! Great interview!!

[@nightowl6260]

She was smart enough to recognize his selfish and manipulative traits. She is strong enough to stand up to him and confront him. Samantha Morton's performance was completely convincing.

[@ruthlsoto6842]

The best Jane Eyre. Him too. Love this film.

[@goodwilln2894]

Brilliant and beautiful actress. I love her. I start to look for every movie, tv show and interviews that she was in after watching her in Jane Eyre. I watched her in Minority Report years ago and only after watching her in Jane Eyre that I knew that the brilliant actor playing Agatha was actually her. Code 46 is my favorite too. She's a very rare precious gem.

[@n.m.2174]

Watch Samantha in Harlots on Hulu. She's phenomenal!

[@pitbull6527]

"THE SERPENT QUEEN"...SHE IS BRILLIANT aaa

[@stephanieispink4theplanet427]

Nice interview. Too bad the distracting parts weren't edited out. Samantha Morton gives my favorite Jane Eyre character portrayal. She's wonderful. The innocence, and yet wisdom beyond her years, shines through. A joy to watch - she's captivating.

[@goodwilln2894]

Mine too.

[@d.leighannbatemon3192]

She's such an amazing actor! I'm glad she picked up the role of Alpha in The Walking Dead, I've been binging her other work and I really think she is the female equivalent of Anthony Hopkins.

[@cias_food]

Best version. Love her and Ciaran Hinds.

[@ewasliwowska516]

Perfect Jane ❤

[@baguette3000-V2]

Great actress! I remember "Sweet and lowdown"

[@Zarina1634]

Best Jane Eyre.

[@jjoyjohnson72]

Great interview! Yes, she did "become" Jane Eyre.

[@gabya.a.f.8289]

She is so beautiful and cute omg. I'm in love with her

[@kellywemken7101]

The best movie version by far.

[@bradley583]

crazy to think she is 19/20-- so mature and intelligent.

[@RhymesChant]

My favorite actress to play Jane ❤

[@clips001ify]

Samantha Morton is a remarkable actress. Check her out also as Myra Hindley in the film, Longford, a British television movie. She plays a murderess adept at psychological play.

[@cmasseylynch]

A wise soul . We all love her Morvern Callar role...

[@sanaxx7635]

Watched the version of Jane Eyre she was in in 2001 or 2002 in a school English class when we were studying the book. X

[@badcomicbook]

Smashing actor!!! :)

[@clivejames5058]

Cieran and Samantha created my favourite adaptation of Jane Eyre.

[@emmashoesmith2882]

Samantha is right up there in superb Jane Eyre portrayals with Zelah Clarke!

[@hankarber7280]

I love her, but love Rochester a bit more, i could not find any Ciaran Hint's interview about the film at that time-15 years ago. Can one help?

[@akashalee345]

Young Samantha reminds of Carrey Mulligan

[@solkun8316]

She is outstanding as Alpha! Now I'm crushing even more

[@maryblogg4327]

👍 Fine Actress...

[@Morgana888]

Samantha was a good Jane Eyre. I'm glad she read deeply into Charlotte's character. My favourite will always be the Timothy Dalton rendering of Rochester. It's too bad these two couldn't have done the novel adaptation together. I liked Ciaran Hinds but still Timothy is the Byronic hero that Charlotte wrote. Samantha and Zelah both did a good job.

[@corinnerobinson4949]

A young cute "Alpha"....haha...she is so good on the Walking Dead,,,outstanding...

[@antonellaleiva3607]

😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@lisakay1006]

I wonder if she wore a wig, or cut her hair? I’m so addicted to J.A. Awesome actress.❤️

[@PamComorski]

I asure you I did not write Pilot a letter.

[@prairiepalmetto9378]

🤣

[@RosannaSelwood]

Samantha is the best Jane Eyre and Ciaran the best Mr Rochester! Definitely my favourite version of Jane Eyre! They both played their characters perfectly!

[@saltodelpuma]

She scared the hell out of me as Alpha....🤣🤣🤣

[@d.leighannbatemon3192]

She's seriously the female version of Anthony Hopkins, such an amazing actor!

[@Oscar_loz27]

Alpha

[@rafaelarcas942]

Is that Alpha from “The Walking Dead” ???

[@flickchick0617]

She’s fantastic, yes! And a charitable person in real life, too.

[@rafaelarcas942]

@@flickchick0617 Despite the lack of interest of the AMC tv show mostly since season 7, her presence in it from season 9 to season 10 has brought to life one of the most scary villains to the little screen.

[@jimcolegrove5442]

Samantha, do you and Jane share the same character? Rochester was not taught proper values but had strong love committed to integrity?

[@brendalaird6942]

Samantha was the very best Jane Eyre and Ciaran Hinds was the very best Mr. Rochester!

[@ThePhantomSeven]

Let me guess..you’re here from The Walking Dead?

[@sophien8577]

I've stopped watching her as Alpha. Too fond of her previous roles, from Electrical Storm, to Minority Report to (ahhhh) Jane Eyre.

[@TriKyTriXx]

Such an evil woman! Thank god for a Negan

[@LukeGB003]

Alpha
