Jane Austen, Action Hero???
Move over Chuck Norris, there’s a new bad ass in town and her name is Jane Austen.
Yeah, you heard me right. J.A., the English author of such all time hits as “Pride and Prejudice,” “Sense and Sensibility” and “Emma,” who died in 1818.
She’s now an action figure. And she’s ready to be your travel buddy.
JANE’S THE WOMAN
With quill in hand, she’s ready to wield it like a sword against those who doubt her power.
During a stirring PBS session here at the TV critics press tour, we learned that “Masterpiece Theater” will be doing “The Complete Jane Austen” beginning in January.
At the tables, the centerpieces included the Jane Austen action figure. We learned there were many Web sites devoted to J.A., incuding “Jane Austen is my Homegirl.”
Then there’s Kristen’s Web site that shows you all the places J.A. has been. Check it out: Kristen & J.A..
Fan of Jane’s? Let’s hear it.
