Jennifer Ehle

Jennifer Ehle made her screen debut in Peter Hall's The Camomile Lawn (Channel Four, 1992), and subsequently found television fame as Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice (Simon Langton, BBC, 1995). Her other screen credits include Micky Love (Nick Hamm, ITV, 1993); Cynthia Lennon in Backbeat (1993); Alan Bleasdale's Self Catering (TV, 1994); Alan Bleasdale's Pleasure (TV, 1994); A Casual Affair (Jim O'Brien, TV, 1994); Beyond Reason (TV, 1995); the title role in Alan Bleasdale's Melissa (Channel Four, 1997); Paradise Road (Bruce Beresford, 1997); Constance Lloyd in Wilde (Brian Gilbert, 1997); A Good Baby (1998); Bedrooms and Hallways (1998); This Year's Love (1999); Sunshine (István Szabó, 1999); and Possession (Neil LaBute, 2002).

At the RSC in 1995, playing Amanda in The Relapse (Ian Judge, Swan), Serafina in The Painter of Dishonour (Laurence Boswell, TOP), and Lady Anne in Richard III (Steven Pimlott, RST), she seemed to be in hiding from the exposure of Pride and Prejudice, then airing. She did not return to live performing until 1999 when she was seen at her most skilful and alluring as Annie opposite Stephen Dillane in Tom Stoppard's The Real Thing (David Leveaux, Donmar Warehouse, also Albery and New York, 2000). She has since played Varvara in Summerfolk at the National (Trevor Nunn, Olivier, 1999), and Gilda in Design for Living on Broadway (2001).

She is the daughter of Rosemary Harris and the American writer John Ehle.
