PEOPLE, Page 76Role ReversalBy Howard G. Chua-Eoan/Reported by Jeannie Park
In 1946, in DAVID LEAN'S classic film of Dickens' Great
Expectations, JEAN SIMMONS played the young Estella to MARTITA
HUNT'S spurned Miss Havisham, the brooding harridan in a tattered
wedding dress who teaches her ward to hate men. This July, in a
startling reversal of roles, Simmons, 60, will play the spinster
in a Disney Channel mini-series. "Oh, yes," says Simmons, "it was
kind of weird. But when they started putting the makeup on, and the
wig and the dress, you get into it." Simmons, who once suffered
from agoraphobia, says she can identify a little with the reclusive
Havisham. But that's as far as it goes.
