David Copperfield (novel)/Trivia

• All-Star Cast: 1935 film, 1969 film, and 1999 and 2000 miniseries. Also the upcoming movie with Mr. Bean as Micawber.
• Creator Breakdown: Dickens was writing this based in large part on his life story, and sometimes things were a bit too painful to remember, so he fudged. For instance, Dickens makes David (himself in print) quite perfect and upright; kills off Dora because he was unsatisfied with his own wife for some of the same reasons; and Agnes' Purity Sue personality developed from his idealization of her real-life model, Mary Hogarth, who died in his arms at innocent seventeen.
