RIP Michael Jayston (29.10.1935 - 5.2.2024)

"Well, I played a lot of interesting people. I was Siegfried Sassoon in ‘Mad Jack’, and played Beethoven and Rochester in Jane Eyre amongst others. When I did Equus in 1976, a critic described my work on television as ‘odd bits of TV’, but these are no small parts for an actor."

Really loving all the Austen men polls. But I think we are in dire need of a battle of the Rochesters. And then the Darcy winner vs the Rochester winner. And then any Darcy vs any Rochester. And then just book Darcy vs book Rochester.

That'll ensure at least weeks of anxiety fun.

Special edition: wet shirt Darcy vs wet shirt Rochester!!!

Sad to learn we've lost another Doctor Who star - and a Doctor, no less.

Sorcha Cusack (Jane) and Michael Jayston (Mr. Rochester) from "Jane Eyre" 1973 version.

If you're a fan of "Jane Eyre", don't miss out watching this great adaptation. The production values may be dated but it's script uses a lot of dialogues from the novel. It's also has one of the best chemistry and dynamics between the main leads.

We were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Michael Jayston. A brilliant actor with an illustrious career who so superbly originated the role of the Valeyard. He will be sorely missed.

Michael Jayston in Tales That Witness Madness (1973)

I can't stop thinking about how that scene in ep. 5 of 1973 Jane Eyre was done where Rochester is wondering if Jane is real or if he's just dreaming, and Jane starts talking about how her uncle has died and left her some money and she's rich etc, and Rochester is all like "yea okay this is too boring to be a dream" 😂

if jerma’s brave enough he could play mr. rochester bc he’s middle height (5’8”), 38, and of course . he’s full of whimsy

Sorcha Cusack as Jane from "Jane Eyre" 1973 version.

According to the latest interview regarding "Jane Eyre", Sorcha was suppose to change her English name "Sarah" at the start of her acting career but Michael Jayston the actor of Mr. Rochester in that same version was the one who encouraged her to keep her Irish name and she used it ever since.
