Susannah Harker Interview - BBC Pride & Prejudice

[@schoo9256]

Susannah Harker was a beautiful Jane, but it goes beyond that. She had a great attention to detail, from the elegance in how she carried herself, to the way she managed to become a properly reserved young lady without being devoid of emotion... even when she is telling Lizzy of Bingley's proposal she is reserved but still manages to make you *feel* how happy she is. She did such a good job on that show.

Dont lie.. she looks like a man on a dress.. far from the books..

[@MsSlucyna]

@@tej843 Lie? What does lying have to do with the comment above? Btw, have you seen the BBC tv series?

Nice intelligent lady. No doubt that the 1995 BBC dramatisation was the best version of Pride and Prejudice. Everything about it was as good as possible. The screenplay, the casting, the direction, the musical score, the acting. The chemistry between the two leads, Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle, was magical.

[@rebeccalarson9014]

It was all of you!! I loved every character on this version of P & P....The script was perfect, the clothes were perfect!! I watch it almost everyday because the show is so well done! Bravo to you all!!!!!

[@Burdaa47]

what a beautiful eyes she has, deep and mysterious, no wonder she gave a most of it in the movie, such a beautiful and agreeable character as Jane match her

[@sonnyroy497]

She is still beautiful!

[@psusanwestlake5510]

And she is a lovely person fun and kind just as she seems, no pretense at all.

[@theUrbanJoe]

Their version was probably nearer to the Austin reality than any other. Jane Austin loved the outdoors which is a huge part of this adaptation along with all the truly authentic details. They really hit the bullseye and everybody responds accordingly!

[@danbuckley8835]

She is timeless.

(I know this old, but so am I!) It is strange how this movie affects so many. I do mean the BBC version only. I can't watch it just once and put it back on the shelf. I have to watch it several times, each time, then put up. I have several different formats, including VHS. There is a "Darcy thing", but I love all the characters, especially how amazing Alison Steadman transforms herself into Fanny Bennet.

[@cremebrulee4759]

I really believe that all of the actors did a wonderful job in portraying their characters. I fell in love with Mr Darcy, of course, and Elizabeth. However, I do agree with you completely with the way that Allison Steadman portrayed Mrs Bennett. She really took it to its most extreme and, honestly, logical place. Her voice, especially, brought the character to full realization.

Jennifer was the shining star of that series.

[@monmothma3358]

She's obviously intelligent. Quite insightful answers.

[@sacrosby]

That version remains the best because of the casting!

[@sinahazar6015]

I love and love Pride and prejudice, first time I watched it, it was on television and from then on I wanted to watch it over and over again. Later ordered myself a copy of the movie and had all my sisters watching. To date I had to buy another copy, as I given my copy to my sister who asked for it (and now she thrown it away and had to buy another copy and thrown her copy away, now her husband owns a copy). Today I still enjoy watching Pride and Prejudice and will continue to do so. I was amazed how loving sisters can be and wished my sisters were like the actresses Elizabeth and Jane. This sort of story captures ones attention to humanity in the 21st Century. Well played and well thought of. Such an Excellent! Excellent! movie and story

[@lelleithmurray235]

Elizabeth and Jane did have a good relationship. One of the things that made this series special for me.

[@taaptee]

as beautiful as ever, and such lovely answers

[@alphabetaxenonzzzcat]

It's on Netflix UK, if you want to see it.

[@susanmercurio1060]

It's on Hulu, too.

To her point at the end, the Bible puts it this way: “There is nothing new under the sun.” Times goes on, but human nature and our desires/problems/etc stay the same.

[@rul4522]

For me it has a lot to do with all actors are so much involved - f.e. The 1980 version where all actors speak the lines very well, but I miss the chemistry.

[@cremebrulee4759]

I feel the actors in the 1995 version all their truly outstanding job of portraying their characters, and it really made the story come alive.

[@agatask]

I agree, for me it’s the great actors and their chemistry with one another. It was not just Mr Darcy.

[@MsSlucyna]

@@agatask And the tedious work of an army of seamstresses, carpenters, hairdressers, musicians, choreographers and who not as well.

[@ariochiv]

The fact that it's of a proper length has a lot to do with it, I think.

[@cremebrulee4759]

Yes. They were able to include virtually the entire book because. They didn't have to edit it into 2 hours. That, and Colin Firth, of course. He was perfect.

[@eeejay235]

Yes. I could recite the book and look for the book in the script. They didnt miss anything

[@susannaseay4799]

She is prettier than she was in the movie, I think.

[@ewelinalaskowski4968]

My favorite Jane ! ♥️

[@susanmercurio1060]

No, Susannah, it ISN'T "the Darcy syndrome." We loved YOU as Jane Bennett! You were so great. You made the show what it was. I'm glad you told us that it was your own hair. I wasn't sure until you were drying your hair in the series but this confirms it.

[@АсиятУрумова-й2о]

Обажаю💓💓💓💓💓

[@DrawnInk1]

They should enhance the quality of the film digitally, if it was shot on video which I think it was it will degrade.

[@vicstee482]

She has ages fantastically well! I know it this was a few years ago. But even do!

[@lutulanunu6865]

Best thing was the women !!

[@ABeautfulMess]

made the book alive and Mr darcy

[@lauradominici73]

Salut Jeanne, très contente de te revoir....

[@amour2406]

And the Elizabeth syndrome as well!!! Becouse: Darcy - Pride Elizabeth - Prejudice

[@BUBBLESPOGO]

Then comes the blight of age to wither the sweet rose.

[@staffanlindstrom576]

She doesn´t look and sound like Jane any longer.

[@smiffy8364]

Do you look the same as you did 20 years ago?

[@staffanlindstrom576]

@Anne Her own personality is very different from Jane´s.

[@staffanlindstrom576]

@Anne It´s almost as if she´s a different person.

[@MsBettyRubble]

@@staffanlindstrom576 considering that jane is fictitious, then yes the actress is a different person.

[@ds1868]

@@staffanlindstrom576 don't be utterly ridiculous. The actress and Jane are two different people separated by 200 years. Are you joking?
