Orson Welles did enough work behind the scenes that the production company offered him a producer credit, which he turned down. Welles' official reason for this is a belief that a person who is not directing the movie shouldn't be "just" a producer.
After securing the screen rights, David O. Selznick originally approached Orson Welles to play the role of Rochester opposite Selznick contractee Joan Fontaine. He got Aldous Huxley, John Houseman, and Robert Stevenson involved. Ultimately though, he sold the package to Darryl F. Zanuck and Twentieth Century Fox.
Edward Rochester's guaranteed income of $8,000 per year in 1839 is equivalent to about $230,000 in 2021.
Dame Elizabeth Taylor's role as Helen Burns was uncredited.
Writer and director Robert Stevenson's wife, Anna Lee, was an early choice for the role of Blanche Ingraham.
"[last lines] Jane Eyre: [narrating] As the months went past, he came to see the light once more as well as to feel its warmth; to see first the glory of the sun, and then the mild splendour of the moon, and at last the evening star. And then one day, when our firstborn was put into his arms, he could see that the boy had inherited his own eyes as they once were... large, brilliant and black."
"Mrs. Reed: [introducing Jane] This, Mr. Brocklehurst, is the child in question. She is the daughter of my late sister's husband by an unfortunate union which we in the family prefer to forget. For some years she's lived in this house."
