She plays Elinor, the rational elder sister in Sense and Sensibility, opposite the younger, more romantic sister Marianne.

Speaking to the BBC, Edgar-Jones says that in her personal life, she really is like her character.

"When it comes to love, I think I am very much more Elinor in every sort of way," she says.

"I definitely lead a lot with my head and try and push aside, bury my emotion."

But she notes that one of the joys of the film is seeing Elinor learn to enjoy a "wilder, passionate side" of herself. "And I feel like I learnt to do that too," she says.
