The Brontë sisters, Charlotte, Emily, and Anne, were born between
1816 and 1820 in a small village in the north of England. They were
all writers, but only Charlotte, with her novel Jane Eyre, was famous
in her lifetime. Their brother Branwell, the painter of this portrait,
was originally in the picture between Emily and Charlotte. He
wasn't happy with his self-portrait and now the painting shows only
the three sisters.
Helena Bonham Carter, the actress, was born in London in 1966.
Her mother is half Spanish and her father, who died in 2004, was
the grandson of Herbert Asquith, the British Prime Minister from
1908 to 1916. Her first big role was as Lucy Honeychurch in A Room
with a View, and her other roles include The Red Queen in Alice
in Wonderland, Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter films, and
Queen Elizabeth in The King's Speech. She has two children with
partner Tim Burton, a film director.
