Mean to Fanny
Alert Janeite MarcyG found an article in The Sun about Maggie O’Neill, which describes her role in MANSFIELD PARK thus:
“I’ve just done Mansfield Park with Billie Piper. That was a really different part again because my character had to be really nasty to Billie Piper’s, which was kind of bizarre because she’s just such a special girl. She’s such a laugh.”
As Marcy pointed out, “Only one character is truly nasty to Fanny Price in “Mansfield Park” and that is none other than Mrs. Norris. Therefore, it appears that this is as close a confirmation as we can get (for now) that Maggie is playing aunt Norris.” Sounds about right to us.
