Alert Janeite sassymonkey sent us a link to the Guardian’s book blog (which she found via bookninja) describing a new book that claims eight (8) of the characters in Pride and Prejudice display symptoms of Asperger’s syndrome, including, apparently, Mr. Darcy. (more…)
From an article about the actress Rose McGowan:
While posing nearly naked for the current issue of Rolling Stone, her backside pressed against the buttocks of an equally bare Rosario Dawson, Rose McGowan says she had a sobering thought: Who’d hire her for a demure role in a Jane Austen movie after seeing this?
Meanwhile, somewhere in England, Andrew Davies nearly breaks a leg running for the phone.
ITV’s claim that “each generation deserves its own Austen adaptations” apparently did not extend to Emma, since they are bringing up the tail end of their Jane Austen Season with a rebroadcast of the 1996 television film of that novel starring Kate Beckinsale tonight. If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out; it’s not terrible. (But Clueless is better.)
