Was Julie Harris Cathy in the 1955 movie? She seemed like a good person in the movie.

Hoon Lee was cast. Outside of Pugh as Cathy, he's probably my favorite casting. Seem's like he's going to be a big part of the show.
Job in the house.
If you know, you know.

No. Julie Harris was Abra. Jo Van Fleet was Cathy.

Ohhhhh. Cathy was the boys' mother. Ok. Abra had a much bigger role than her in the 1955 movie.

Yes. The 1955 version only adapted the latter part of the novel. Cathy had already given birth to the boys and abandoned the family. Her role in the film is actually pretty small. The 1981 television miniseries was a much more faithful adaptation of the source novel. Jane Seymour was excellent as Cathy.
As I said in a previous post, I’ll reserve judgement until after I watch this new version. Telling the story from Cathy’s POV is risky because she is the novel’s antagonist. It appears that they are going to try to explain her justification for the horrible things she does. If the goal is to make viewers understand her, but not necessarily like her, it might work.
