🎬💐 For Canadian-American actress Colleen Dewhurst, who portrayed Marilla Cuthbert in the Anne of Green Gables TV miniseries, the enduring power of Montgomery's beloved story lies in connection. She saw the phrase “kindred spirit” as a reminder of how we recognize ourselves in others.

🎭 Megan Follows, celebrated Canadian-American actress and director, is forever linked to Anne Shirley through her unforgettable role in the 1985 Anne of Green Gables miniseries. For Follows, Anne’s story is much more than a coming-of-age tale.
