Vanity Fair written by William Makepeace Thackeray’s is the great novel in history. Many years passing, there are several movies and TV series adapted by this novel. According to the website we mention above, we collect all the films (including silent version and sound version) and TV series. We rearrange all the posters (some can not be found on internet) and we post the actresses’ photos of the two main protagonists. This illustration is the most interesting portion of this work. We collect all the photos of Becky sharp. Because Becky Sharp is the most important role and she is a cleaver, crafty and shrewd character, each Becky Sharp in every film looks beautiful, smart, able and all with two big dark eyes. For the character as Amelia Sedley, being the second female protagonist, the role of Amelia Sedley is not lucky noticed by spectators. We can still discover the photos of Amelia Sedley, but the pictures in early 20 century are hard to found. The 1st drama of Vanity Fair was filmed in 1911, and the latest work is released in 2004. During the period around 100 years, there are 10 versions (4 silent films, 3 sound films, and 3 TV Series) of Vanity Fair. For this reason, we can see how great the work affects the world.
