Short description
In early 19th century England, orphaned Becky Sharp defies her poverty-stricken background and ascends the social ladder alongside her best friend.
What's left behind the scenes
- During rehearsals for the film, Mira Nair jokingly suggested that Reese Witherspoon get pregnant, as the actress's thinness did not quite fit the role. Coincidence or not, but by the time filming began, Reese announced that she was expecting a child.
- Notably, Natasha Little, who played Lady Jane in this film, also participated in the 1998 BBC production. There she played the main role, the role of Becky Sharp.
- The film is based on William Makepeace Thackeray's novel "Vanity Fair" (Vanity Fair: A Novel without a Hero, 1847-1848).
- Reese Witherspoon was the only American actress on set, which was entirely located in the United Kingdom.
- Filming of the picture began on May 23, 2003, in the pavilions of Shepperton Studios in London with a budget of $23 million. Initially, work on the film was scheduled to begin in the fall of 2002, but was postponed for several months due to Reese Witherspoon's commitment to filming "Legally Blonde 2".
- The first four adaptations of the novel on which the film is based passed very quietly, then in 1932 there was a film with Myrna Loy, and the last one was released in 1935 under the title "Becky Sharp" starring Miriam Hopkins. There have also been three mini-series, the most recent of which aired on BBC in 1998.
