While I was researching Lady in Waiting, Vanity Fair (starring Reese Witherspoon and James -yummy, yummy- Purefoy) was being filmed in Bath. Streets were covered with earth and carriages were parked before stately homes and costumed actors strolled transporting Bath to 1820. Vanity Fair, based on Thackeray’s famed novel, is the story of low born “Becky” Sharp (Witherspoon) who finds she must rely on her wit, guile, and sexuality as she makes her way up through society circa 1820. Opens September 1, 2004. (What, you thought I’d put a picture of Reese Witherspoon here? How little you know me…).
