Not even a Brontë!

The Yorkshire Post interviews the actress Phoebe Thomas:

So is this is going to be Phoebe’s first time in Yorkshire?
“No”, she laughs again, “I remember coming on a school trip in my teens, and I know that we all went to the Brontë Parsonage, and it was a cold, wet, miserable grey day, and I could imagine that family all those years ago, and how they must have felt living there, day after day. I had a lovely warm cosy house in Palmer’s Green, with mum and dad and my three brothers to go back to. They didn’t”.

GDT: Actually, an old movie with Vincent Price called ‘Dragonwyck,’ there’s a quote from it in ‘Crimson Peak.’ ‘The Innocents’ by Jack Clayton. ‘Great Expectations’ by David Lean. ‘Rebecca,’ for sure. ‘Jane Eyre,’ the Robert Stevenson version with Orson Welles and Joan Fontaine.
