How did Judi Dench get the role of playing Lady Catherine? How about the rest of the cast?
Joe Wright mentioned in one of his interviews that Judi Dench, I wrote a letter to saying, “I love it when you’re a bi*ch. Please come and be a bi*ch for me,” and she must have giggled or something and she did it. You can read how Keira Knightley, Matthew Macfadyen, Rosamund Pike, Simon Woods, Donald Sutherland, Brenda Blethyn, Jena Malone, and the rest of P&P cast were cast for their roles in P&P here.
