Young people of fortune
Alert Janeite KelleyB sent us a link to an article about Hayley Atwell, who will have a part in MANSFIELD PARK 2007 but we do not yet know which; though, from the photo accompanying the article, we’re guessing Mary Crawford.
Critics have praised her wide range, which extends from being a natural period drama actress to her acclaimed performance playing the troubled daughter of a Conservative MP in The Line Of Beauty.
Her striking looks have hardly been a hindrance.
We dare say not!

She would be a lovely Mary Crawford. Though I wouldn’t rule her out as Maria either.

She’s perfect for Mary! Her striking beauty would deffiantely capture Edmund’s heart! Here’s her PFD resume: http://www.pfd.co.uk/clients/atwellh/a-act.html
Her profile for BBC’s drama ‘The Line of Beauty’: http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/lineofbeauty/hayley_atwell.shtml

All of a sudden the actors who are supposed to be staring in MP3 are looking very contemporary to me, I wonder why?

Considering she’s getting pretty high co-starring billing with Billie Piper in the articles (of course, that could just be clever pitching by “her people”), I’d say Mary Crawford, as she is a more prominent character than Maria Bertram. But I’ve been wrong before!
