 After playing Thompson, Emma (qv)s sister in this film, Helena  Bonham Carter went on to play the love interest of Thompsons  husband, Branagh, Kenneth (qv), in Frankenstein. It is rumored  that Carter was one of the main reasons for the subsequent  Branagh/Thompson divorce. The next woman to play Thompsons sister  on film (Winslet, Kate (qv) in Sense and Sensibility) also  followed that role by playing Branaghs love interest (in Hamlet).
