The 1983 version of "Jane Eyre" starring Zelah Clarke and Timothy Dalton has my favorite money scene or Jane's leave of absence part (shown in the video). The reason why is that because there's a certain part of there that it felt it's not part of the script. Upon Mr. Rochester calling Jane that she's a "little niggard" after latter refusing to return most of her salary to him, an awkward silence ensures and in-between that they slowly smile. Then they remembered what they have to say next. It's genuinely funny and while I admit that Zelah and Dalton's chemistry is less palpable compare to the actors in 1973 and 2006 version of "Jane Eyre", this is one of the few moments where they shine. It also shows that Jane has a silly side by showing she dislikes anyone who treats her like a small person. Nevermind if her appearance is plain but calling her "little" or making fun of her short stature is like asking a death sentence from her. Thankfully, she chose to smile and forget about it, most likely she's falling in love with Mr. Rochester.

This part about Jane's insecurity about her height reminds me of something else. Earlier, I read a certain post from someone on social media who expressed that she enjoyed Zelah Clarke's performance in the show but at the same time she lamented why Zelah lost her acting career after it. We talk a little about the reason why it happened until she mentioned about Zelah's daughter. Suddenly I realize something. Since the information about Zelah is lacking, I decided to check her daughter on the Internet instead and that's where I learned about the actress further.

Zelah's daughter is named Lamorna Ash and she's the only biological child of Zelah. She once mentioned about her daughter in an old interview. I've heard about Lamorna who works as a journalist and published a book few years ago before but upon reading her articles further I realize that she has connections with her mother. She and her mother shared their resemblance in fact. How foolish am I! I should have figure it out sooner.

Anyway, I read some of Lamorna's articles and I must admit that they're great. My favorite part about her articles is about her family, especially her relationship with her mother. Lamorna sometimes reveals her stories about her "Mum" as she often calls her and how they get along which is heartwarming. Even if doesn't mention her mother's name for the sake of privacy, it's becoming obvious who she's talking about. She admitted that she and her mother argue sometimes like any mother and daughter would experience but they manage to have a close bond. She also shares a bit of her mother's personal information both in her articles and social media, including the part where the latter doesn't like being treated as a small person just like her character in "Jane Eyre". Here are some excerpts from one of Lamorna's latest articles:

I suppose there's a big reason why Zelah lost her career in acting. Perhaps it led to something better. She and Jane are alike when it comes to finding their path. They both have ambitions to fulfill but they choose marriage and having a family in the end.
