Miss Havisham, you're looking quite lovely today

I've seen several (of the several hundred) adaptations of Great Expectations, and have a mental image of Miss Havisham as an elderly spinster.  In the latest film version, the role is played by Helena Bonham Carter, who presents quite a different look for the character.

Miss Havisham is an iconic character over here in Britain: an embittered spinster who sits in her mouldering mansion still wearing the wedding dress she wore when she was jilted at the altar; she has trained her adopted daughter Estella to break men’s hearts just as her heart was broken.

Bonham Carter co-stars opposite Ralph Fiennes as escaped convict Magwitch. Producer Stephen Woolley tells me the Oscar nominee is playing Miss Havisham at the same age she is in Dickens novel — previous incarnations by Charlotte Rampling, Anne Bancroft and, most memorably, Martita Hunt in David Lean’s version played her much older.

There is one additional photo at Deadline.   I never imagined I would get so old that Miss Havisham looks as appealing as Estella...

Because you're going to look it up anyway, Estella's part is played by Holliday Grainger (think Lucrezia in The Borgias)
