The movie was a more modern intake from the book where the characters names and appearance was a more contemporary style. Anne Bancroft played the character of Miss Havisham in the movie but her name was Nora Dinsmoor. The style was far from the tidal Miss Havisham and not gothic horror looking at all. Her hair was blonde, short and flicked out and her makeup she had big lashes winged eyelimg and red lipstick very 60's style she had going on.
