Elizabeth Garvie will speak at JASA Conference 2007
We heard from Dianne Speakman of the Jane Austen Society of Australia, with some of the details of their 2007 Annual Conference, Jane Austen at the Movies, to take place at the Northside Convention Centre in Sydney on Saturday, 1 September, 2007.
Speakers will include Elizabeth Garvie, who played Elizabeth Bennet in the 1980 BBC television production of Pride and Prejudice; Jon Spence, author of Becoming Jane Austen; Gina and Andrew Macdonald, authors of Jane Austen on Screen; a Critics Panel, moderated by arts personality and reviewer Andrea Stretton and including panelists such as social anthropologist and author David Dale and award-winning novelist Susanne Gervay.
The booking form can be downloaded from the JASA Web site. We hope one of the attendees sends AustenBlog a report!

IMO, Elizabeth Garvie will always be the Elizabeth Bennet.

Is there a picture of Elizabeth Garvieanywhere?
I’d love to see what she looks like now.
She’s my favourite Lizzy and I find her to be exactly as in the book.
I would love to attend this JASA Conference in Australia.
Wishes!! Wishes!! Wishes!!!

I love P&P80. I loved Elizabeth Garvie as Lizzy. She’s just wonderful.
Oddly enough, however, Greer Garson just might be my favorite Lizzy. Yes, she’s too old, but I think she “got” the part.

Reeba–click through to the JASA site, they have a photo. She looks exactly the same!

Google Elizabeth Garvie and click on images and you’ll see several of her as she is today. She must have been quite young when she acted in P&P because she still looks lovely and fabulous.

Thank you Mags and ms. place.
Yes, she looks very lovely. How lucky to have been able to repeat so many of the dialogues from the book.
Lucky Australians.
