Julia Dearden as Mrs.Moreland

Does anyone else who has seen the 95 version of Pride and Prejudice, think she looks an awful lot like Lucy Scott, who plays Charlotte Lucas in that movie? When I watched JD as Catherine's mother, I at first thought they might related. I can't find too much information on either lady. Does anyone else see the resemblance? They even have the same facial expressions and mannerisms. Anyone in the UK know if they are related? The resemblance to me is too coincidental, although I suppose there have been other actors who look that much alike that are not related at all.

After watching Northanger Abbey last night, I immediately thought I recognized the actress that plays Mrs. Moreland from another Jane Austen movie/TV show. I came on IMDB today just to try to place her but saw that Julia Dearden didn't do any other Austin movies.

Maybe you're right - in that she's very much like Lucy Scott (although obviously Julia is older).
