Valerie Hobson played Estella in Great Expectations, David Lean’s celebrated adaptation of Charles Dickens’ novel. The film is widely regarded as one of the finest Dickens adaptations ever made, praised for its atmospheric cinematography, strong performances, and faithful yet cinematic storytelling. Hobson appears as the adult Estella the beautiful, aloof ward of Miss Havisham, raised to break men’s hearts.
