Actress Shalom Brune-Franklin stars as Estella in a new series adaptation of 'Great Expectations.'
For Brune-Franklin, taking on the project, led by a cluster of British talent, was a “no-brainer.” “When I read the script, I was like, ‘Wow, this is really cool.’ I really loved Estella’s voice in the script. It almost felt like Steven Knight had married a modern voice to the sound of the classic novel. I thought that was really exciting and something fresh.”
Like many, Brune-Franklin’s first exposure to Dickens’ novel was in school as a teenager living in Australia. But while she was already familiar with the story when cast, she was surprised at how little she remembered. Aesthetic details helped fill out Estella’s backstory. The hair and makeup artist placed little butterflies in Estella’s hair as a nod to her childhood growing up in solitude; the costume designer wanted to make it look like the character’s dresses were “rotting from the inside out.”
