Anne of Green Gables: Staging the Green Hair Kitchen Scene

[@hallieharker4384]

It's so weird to see Colleen smoking in Marilla's kitchen, especially when Marilla was so adamant about Matthew smoking his pipe "in the great outdoors and not in [her] kitchen!"

[@DancerforYeshua]

+Hallie Harker LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes!!! Hahaha! :D

[@drinkallthesunshine]

Hallie Harker Not only that, but it's funny to see the director in a proper pressed shirt! Nowadays, directors wear shorts and cotton t shirts!

[@sheismymom]

It's so crazy to see how much works goes into a single scene

[@sarahjohnson8514]

Wow. It’s amazing what goes into a scene. Coleen Dewhurst is such a boss and I mean that in the best way possible!

[@maargaret]

I love Richard Farnsworth! ❤ I miss him! 🥺 He was fantastic actor and he was created to act Matthew. I always cry when Matthew is dying. He was first good and emphaty person for Anne like loving and caring father. I adore 'Anne of Green Gables'. It's my favorite childhood book and I love this book and movie although I'm almost 23 years old now. Young Meghan was so beautiful and mature. She was more Anne who she was acting than her true herselves. I hope that you know what I mean. 🥰

[@lonerunner89]

Facts. So sad they killed off his character 😢😔

[@shoey6666]

I'm nearly 60 and it is still my favourite, and not ashamed to say still makes me cry too! The world would be a far better place with more Matthew's in it.

[@Lavender_Cordle]

So funny to see Marilla smoking while drinking a diet coke

[@bonnieyuse5876]

I could tell in the close quarters it made the others uncomfortable. Not very classy to smoke in others faces like that! 😩

[@cece4226]

Aw, love this! Fun to see how the scenes went! And Meghan was an old soul..she was mature for her age! :)

[@raea3588]

Acting, making a film always looks so fun and glamorous but these behind the scenes clips show us that even our favorite movies take a lot of hurry up and wait. The actors make it look so effortless when in reality every move and detail is planned out so technically.

[@tellychel1610]

Love them and miss them...

[@MrsA2801]

The cigarette and coke can look so out of place. Cool to watch them work though.

[@brad349miller]

Everyone freaking about the cigarette. Have things really changed that much since I was a kid in the 90s?

[@Lushy260]

When I was a kid, my parents smoked around me

[@missimperfectlyfine7]

They are freaking because ‘Marilla’ doesn’t like smoking, but Colleen smokes, so it’s quite contradictory.

[@MrCherbear1990]

It's just the usual suspects doing the freaking out...Some are shocked that she as Marilla would be smoking...and then there are the others who just want to be offended that she is smoking around a "child".

+ULSWC It looks like Megan said, she smoked in or near my hair.

[@donovan311]

Y'all, they were filming this in 1984. People smoked EVERYWHERE back then. It's more hilarious than anything else, seeing Marilla smoke a cig and drink a diet coke while in her Edwardian attire lol

What did he mean when he said to be “a little more PG” at 2:25? What was Richard doing?

[@ifoundmyavalon]

He said let’s rotate Richard a little bit that way.. a little more tv I think? I think he meant stage it as if it were for tv. Love to hear what others think

[@chaburchak]

I usually like behind the scenes "making of" material except for those few stories that literally transport me to a different time and place. Then I'll say no thanks, lest they ruin the illusion. This is one of those. So I'll forego these extras as stick with the finished product...

[@MsSlucyna]

How young the director was

[@nannuuuuu]

I always forget that it was filmed in the 80s 😬

I figured she must have been a smoker with that raspy voice she had. Still lovable though. I quit smoking 12 years ago, wasn't a heavy smoker but I was glad to be free of it after many practice quits. (I call them that instead of saying I failed at quitting smoking.)
