News about Jennifer Ehle

Millions of viewers are swooning over their television sets in the 1990s, including Colin Firth's famous 'wet shirt' scene in Pride and Prejudice. The white shirt, which is based on Firth's Mr Darcy, is expected to go on public display. Mr Darcy emerges dripping from a lake after an impromptu swim before rushing into his love interest Elizabeth Bennet, played by Jennifer Ehle. At an auction on Tuesday, the garment sold for £25,000 - more than double the estimated price. The Bankfield Museum, in Halifax, West Yorkshire, has been named as the country's youngest museum, and it intends to have the shirt on display as soon as possible. The wet shirt scene, filmed at Lyme Park, Cheshire, for the 1995 BBC adaptation, never featured in Jane Austen's book but became one of the most famous television moments of all time and turned Firth, now 63, into a sex symbol

Mr Darcy's white shirt as he emerged dripping from a lake was key to one of television history's most famous scenes. Now, almost three decades after the original appearance of Pride and Prejudice on TV in 1995 that left legions of female viewers swooning, the famous jacket might be yours. Last night, Cosprop, a costume house established by Oscar and Bafta-winning designer John Bright in 1965, and Kerry Taylor Auctions revealed that the shirt is going under the hammer with a bid of £7,000 to £10,000 in a charity auction. The Mail has learned that it is one of seven such shirts produced for Firth for the filming of his smouldering post-swim encounter with Jennifer Ehle's Elizabeth Bennet in the hit series. He is said to have wore each of them at some point during filming. Multiple iterations of the shirt were produced as it was worn in wet and dry scenes, as well as in the case of re-takes, according to Cosprop's general manager Chris Garlick.

Barbie has been lauded by both writers and viewers for its enthralling storyline and witty one-liners. However, one scene in particular has resurfaced with viewers, who have taken to Twitter to say they were "called out" in the cinema.

The Yellowstone prequel spinoff 1923 gives an insight into one of Indigenous Americans' darkest times, with horrific government-sanctioned violence occurring under the guise of education and faith. Although the plotline of the Montana-set drama is fictional, Teonna Rainwater's physical and emotional abuse at a Catholic boarding school for Indigenous American youth and attended by Teonna Nieves (Aminah Nieves) is based on true events. In fact, the United States has a larger population. In 2021, the Interior Department launched an in-depth probe to look at the deteriorating legacy of government and church-run boarding schools, and the findings are shocking.

The missive (shown right being held by curator Rebecca Wood) - the author's oldest known surviving letter, sent to her sister Cassandra when she was 20 years old, a 'fun loving, youthful girl' - was sent.' It was written as her dalliance with Irishman Tom Lefroy (inset) came to an end, and just before she started writing the book that would become Pride and Prejudice, Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth as Elizabeth Bennett and Mr Darcy in the BBC's classic 1995 adaptation, she was drafted. Some have speculated that Mr Lefroy - or at least parts of his story - inspired the celebrated novel's brooding hero, who was initially mocked but then charmed heroine Lizzy Bennet. The letter will be displayed for the first time at Austen's former home in Chawton, Hampshire, as part of a new exhibit that opens today.

The Bennet family's Wiltshire manor in Pride and Prejudice has been auctioned for £6 million. Luckington Court was auctioned for the first time in more than 70 years in 2018 for more than £9 million.

The cream Cotswolds building, which was constructed in the 11th century, was used to serve as the Bennet family's home Longbourn.
