The film featured Toronto-born newcomer Ella Ballentine in the iconic role of Anne Shirley.

Hollywood heavyweight Martin Sheen portrayed shy Matthew Cuthbert, a lifelong bachelor who becomes Anne’s unexpected ally when she arrives at Green Gables.

“Anne of Green Gables” was first published in 1908 and has sold more than 50 million copies worldwide.
