Jennifer Ehle: on nude scenes, Pride and Prejudice and why she doesn't want fame Twenty years ago Jennifer Ehle was very famous indeed. Thanks to her Bafta- winning role as Elizabeth Bennet in the BBC adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, she was heralded as one of the country’s most exciting young talents, despite actually being American (albeit with a British mother). But, given the fervour around her in the mid- 1. The street is not somewhere one would wish to linger after dark, and downstairs is a factory making dog boots, but the un- actressy Ehle, 4. And I wanted to work in England, to play British people in Britain.” We debate whether one is exactly the same person in different accents and languages. She relaxes a little, eventually, and later apologises for being “rusty” – she rarely gives interviews. In the 1. 99. 5 BBC series Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth (REX) Ehle is based in upstate New York with her husband, the writer Michael Scott Ryan, and their son, 1. Off- camera she speaks in a soft mid- Atlantic accent, the result of a childhood spent in New York, North Carolina and London as her father, the American author John Ehle, and mother, the British actress Rosemary Harris, moved between the countries. It’s so compelling, and I became fascinated by Nicola Walker . These non- disclosure things, how long do they last? Do they have an expiration date?” She giggles a little nervously. Ehle in next month’s Spooks: The Greater Good (GETTY) Before Spooks is released she can be seen in A Little Chaos, a period piece directed by Alan Rickman (who also stars as Louis XIV) about the construction of the Palace of Versailles, with Kate Winslet and Matthias Schoenaerts. Ehle plays Madame de Montespan. I explain that I wondered if she’d avoided costume drama so as not to be typecast. I don’t feel I’ve got to avoid anything. Elizabeth Bennet is one of the greatest protagonists of any story around. I can’t imagine wanting to avoid characters like her. And anyway, I always thought of Pride and Prejudice as more of a romantic comedy than a period drama. It just happens that they were the clothes people wore when it was written.” Tentatively I broach the fact that, after the phenomenal success of Pride and Prejudice, one might have expected a steeper, or more consistent, career trajectory. I love acting and I feel incredibly fortunate that I do something I love and support my family, but I don’t think I would be happy trading what I have for a bigger career.” When she was growing up, Ehle’s parents located themselves according to Harris’s work (“Dad would pick up his typewriter and me, and off we’d go”). It was a lovely childhood. I think I would miss it if I didn’t have her to share those memories with.” Ehle with her mother, the actress Rosemary Harris, 1. RON GALLELA COLLECTION/GETTY) Ehle attended schools in America and Britain, though not as many as 1. I did go to the same school in Winston- Salem in North Carolina three times, and the same school in New York twice. But we always had a base – my parents still live in the house in North Carolina that they lived in when I was born.” She aspired to be a writer, like her father. I don’t know how that happened as I’d never acted before. Then I played Amanda in The Glass Menagerie and loved it.” She applied to drama schools in America and Britain, and was accepted at both New York’s Juilliard and London’s Central School of Speech and Drama, but chose to come to the UK. She was then cast in her breakthrough role, as the mercenary Calypso in Channel 4’s The Camomile Lawn, dubbed “The Camomile Porn” by tabloids thanks to its levels of nudity and sex, particularly between Ehle and Toby Stephens (with whom she had a relationship). Maybe I shouldn’t have done it,’” she says today. I hadn’t expected it to be a big deal. At 2. 1, it felt like a lot of attention.” Her mother, who played the older incarnation of Calypso, took a different attitude. But to many people she was – and is. Had she and Firth kept in touch? We filmed it 2. 1 years ago.” . When I ask more about Ryan, I am told, politely but firmly, “I don’t want to talk about my family any more.” Her children have experienced an upbringing more geographically stable than her own – the family lives on 1.

It doesn’t have to be on Broadway, but I miss that feeling of being on stage with amazing actors and telling a story.” She has an audition later today, and unlike most actors, she says she relishes the process.
