Talk:Mrs. Beatty/@comment-4934571-20170830175514

As I already mentioned in my review, the real name of this character is unclear to me. The actress is indeed Natalia Payne – I compared this still with her IMDb photos. She was listed as Mrs. Larkin in the ending credits of the first film. That's the information I uploaded here as well as at the IMDb. People from lmmonline.org make their own credits transcriptions, but they found the same info as I did.

Yet, months before the release, Payne was listed at the IMDb as Mrs. Beatty (this information was likely uploaded by her agent or someone from the film production). And this name can be heard several times in the film – always somehow concerning Anne's adoption and finding a new family for her. Marilla later visits the character portrayed by Payne and one can assume she is Mrs. Beatty. I could only find a dubbed version online and I haven't ordered the DVD yet, so I don't know what they say about her and her involvement in the original script. If anyone knows what was her real name, please let me know. If the real name is Mrs. Larkin, we can simply rename this page. :)
