Kay Adshead Remembers Wuthering Heights
Actor, producer and writer Kay Adshead reflects on her memorable portrayal of Cathy Earnshaw in the BBC’s 1978 adaptation of Wuthering Heights. She recalls the intensity of filming on the Yorkshire moors, working alongside Ken Hutchison as Heathcliff and bringing Emily Brontë’s storm-swept heroine to life. \n\nKay also talks about the preparation behind the role - the research she undertook, combining the inspiration from earlier portrayals of Cathy with her own individual interpretation. With warmth and insight, she looks back on the challenges of the production, the legacy of the series and how the experience helped shape her early career.
