Jennifer Ehle Reads Pride & Prejudice and More

April 24, 2020 by Vic

Thank you, Ellen Moody, for posting this information on my Jane Austen and Her Regency World Facebook group page.  Isolation has just become a little better.

Jennifer is still my favorite Lizzie Bennet.

Armchair Travelers: In other news, visit Chawton Cottage on Susan Branch’s site. See this site’s previous post, which also includes Chawton visits by Tony Grant, Rachel Dodge, and lil’ ol’ moi.

    Great treat! Has Jennifer recorded the entire novel? Would love to hear her reading the entire book and comment at the end.

      She’s voiced 20 YouTube videos. Click on this link to see them. She reached the point where Lizzie rejected Mr. Darcy’s first proposal! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLL84Aw12nRu1NHMOltb9n7ca8XaYlnU77

      Great catch, Ellen. I love her voice and loved her Lizzie Bennet.

      I’m so glad! Jennifer is aging beautifully, isn’t she? It’s been 25 years since she played Lizzy Bennet and she looks great!


      • on April 25, 2020 at 19:35 dholcomb1

        She has.

    Your “mama” must have known mine. It was her favorite phrase, much to my chagrin sometimes. And yes, Jennifer Ehle will always be Lizzy Bennett to me.


    • on April 25, 2020 at 09:11 Vic

      Yes , that phrase grated on me when I was young. I thought it was too facile a response. Now I treasure it. I haven’t seen my 95-year-old mother for 6 weeks and I miss her dearly. Thank Goodness we can talk daily by phone.


      • on April 26, 2020 at 01:24 lynne Hess

        I am sorry you’re apart but pray that she stays well and safe…oh, dear, I almost used “that phrase”. We’ll all be out of this soon enough.
