Now is the season for tales of ghosts and hauntings! One of Hollywood's most charming ghost stories is that of The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, which tells the tale of a spirited sea captain haunting a widow's seaside cottage. Originally a 1947 film, it later transformed into a beloved TV series, blending romance and ghostly antics in a delightful mix of the supernatural and the sentimental.

At the forefront of the movie was the portrait of the Ghost in question - Captain Gregg - played in the film by none other than Rex Harrison.

Promotional imagery for the 1968 television series features the portrait of Captain Gregg, as played by Edward Mulhare, and it looks strangely familiar. Could it be?

Yes, indeed! The portraits are the same. In 1968, the artist Eddie Martinez was hired to paint over Rex Harrison's face and paint in the face of actor Edward Mulhare!

This portrait has been used in other films as well. To find out more about the history of this incredible piece, visit our website. bit.ly/Prop017

The 1943 film version of 𝑱𝒂𝒏𝒆 𝑬𝒚𝒓𝒆 and the 1947 film 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑭𝒐𝒙𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑯𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒘 were produced by 20th Century Fox (Now 20th Century Studios) back in the era when the studios still had large costume departments. While studios still maintain some costumes in-house, the wardrobe departments are not nearly as large as they once were, and costumes today are generally rented from a costume house.   This particular costume is a dressing gown worn by none other than Orson Welles as the character of Edward Rochester in 𝑱𝒂𝒏𝒆 𝑬𝒚𝒓𝒆. Some costumes from this film went on to be used by Rex Harrison’s character of Stephen Fox in 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑭𝒐𝒙𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑯𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒘.   If two actors contracted at a studio shared similar measurements, it was not uncommon for them to share costumes throughout films. For example, it has long been rumored that Clark Gable’s costumes were repurposed several times for John Wayne, though no examples have yet been found to confirm this.   Find more costumes from other versions of 𝑱𝒂𝒏𝒆 𝑬𝒚𝒓𝒆 at Bit.ly/JaneEyreReuses

Margaret Furse designed this beautiful green and gold Tudor coat for Richard Burton’s portrayal of King Henry VIII in the 1969 film 𝑨𝒏𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑫𝒂𝒚𝒔.   The coat was used again in the 1977 film 𝑪𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝑺𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒔, where Rex Harrison wore it as the Duke of Norfolk.   Do you have a favorite costume from 𝑨𝒏𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑫𝒂𝒚𝒔?
