In 1995, I and many other women across the globe swooned over Colin Firth's portrayal of Mr. Darcy in the miniseries Pride and Prejudice. It seems some of us are still swooning. A portrait of Mr. Darcy, used in the miniseries, sold for 12,000 British Pounds at auction today. In case you were wondering, 12,000.00 British Pounds equals $16,765.06, according to this website. And yes, it is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single woman in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a good smack to the head to spend that much money on a prop.
