Summary
Reese Witherspoon unites with acclaimed director Mira Nair to bring Rebecca (Becky) Sharp to the screen, one of the greatest female characters ever created. Based on the classic novel by William Makepeace Thackeray, VANITY FAIR follows the passionate and calculating Becky in the early years of the 19th century. Orphaned at a young age, Becky yearns for a more glamorous life than her birthright promises and as she leaves Miss Pinkerton's Academy at Chiswich, she resolves to conquer English society by any means possible
