* DawsonCasting: Phryne Fisher was born in 1900, bringing her in her late-20s at the moment the story is set. Essie Davis was in her early-40s when filming began. While Mrs. Davis is a great beauty, she still plays Miss Fisher with attitudes, facial expressions and style of speech more appropriate for middle age than for a younger one.

Nicholas Bell didn\'t found Bell Shakespeare or play Richard III for the company - John Bell did.



* Essie Davis and Nicholas Bell (Murdoch Foyle) have known each other for a LONG time. The first time I ever saw Essie acting was as Juliet in the Bell Shakespeare Company's 'Romeo and Juliet' in the late 90's; Nicholas Bell is the founder of that company. In the same 'season' he played Richard III; a friend of my mother's saw him in that first, and remarked to my mother the next day that it must be really hard for a person as crippled as Bell to get acting jobs! (Having seen the Richard III production as well, I can tell you that yes, Bell was that fucking awesome.)
