Jon Spence,
McAvoy knew his portrait of Tom could only come alive with the right Jane, and he found Anne Hathaway almost supernaturally suited for the part. “I don’t think we could have chosen anyone better to play Jane Austen," he says.
Jane Austen’s greatest love story was her own
‘I’m yours, Jane, heart and soul!’
~ Tom Lefroy to Jane Austen, ‘Becoming Jane’
Anything is to be preferred or endured rather than marrying without affection – JA,
Nothing can be compared to the misery of being bound without Love, bound to one, & preferring another – JA,
To be so bent on marriage, to pursue a man merely for the sake of situation – is a sort of thing that shocks me.
The film Becoming Jane has given us an image of Jane Austen that liberates our imagination. I envy readers of my book who come to it with Anne Hathaway’s image of Jane in their mind’s eye. You will not have to struggle against the image Cassandra created to see the Jane Austen who was young and pretty, lively and in love. Anne Hathaway’s skilful portrayal of Jane Austen in Becoming Jane shows that art can have as much power to bring us closer to the truth as facts themselves can.
Jon Spence,

Hey guys... just a question. Does anyone know who plays Robert Ferrars? He looks so familiar but I cannot find his name at imdb.com. It's most vexing!
take care/ maria
Hey Maria, isn't the dude who plays Robert Ferrars the dude from Becoming Jane who writes that letter that spoils Jane's chances of marrying Tom, think his character is John Warren and I believe the actors name is Leo Bill, tis very bad the IMDB havn't got him on the casting list for sense and sensibility though. I want to find out how I can get hold of the soundtrack for this new adaption of Sense and Sensibility, I thought the music was gorgous, I can't even find out who wrote and composed it etc!
Very annoying, I hope I have answered you question, please let someone answer mine!
Thank you!
Ah thank you Mary! That is why I disliked the look of him! haha! I cannot answer your question though. I haven't a clue.
