Carey Mulligan Reflects on 'Magical' Pride & Prejudice Debut

Carey Mulligan fondly recalled her film debut in the 2005 "Pride & Prejudice," describing the experience as both "magical" and "majestic." Playing Kitty Bennet, she felt fortunate to be a small part of a large, successful production, which provided a sense of protection and invaluable learning opportunities.

Mulligan emphasized the supportive atmosphere on set, noting director Joe Wright's efforts to foster a family-like environment among the young cast. The immersive activities, like playing games together in their filming location, contributed to a sense of ownership and camaraderie that made the summer unforgettable.

This "big first job out of the gate" set a high standard for Mulligan, as she was initially surprised by subsequent projects not replicating the same joyous atmosphere. The enduring romance and timeless appeal of "Pride & Prejudice" continue to resonate with her.
