Pixar character inspiration led to a House of Usher family member’s creation
In the Netflix series “Fall of the House of Usher,” the character Camille L’Espanaye, portrayed by Kate Siegel, captivated audiences with her enigmatic personality and strategic prowess. While the series itself draws inspiration from the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Siegel recently revealed an unexpected source that played a role in shaping her portrayal of Camille. In a revealing Twitter video shared by Mike Flanagan Source, Siegel disclosed that her character found its roots in the alluring Mirage from Pixar’s animated classic “The Incredibles.” She reminisced about her childhood fascination with Mirage, considering her the epitome of beauty and elegance.
Siegel shared, “Camille is entirely based on a character named Mirage from The Incredibles. When I was a little girl, she was like my Jessica Rabbit. Like I thought she was the most beautiful woman I could imagine. She is the one that tricks Mr. Incredible into coming and being kidnapped. Once you’ve seen it, you can’t unsee it. So sorry to spoil all of your childhood dreams, but Camille is just Mirage.”
Despite some scrutiny regarding the timeline and Siegel’s age at the release of “The Incredibles” in 2004, her acknowledgment sheds light on the multifaceted inspirations behind the character of Camille L’Espanaye. In addition to the Pixar character Mirage, the foundations of the Usher family in the series are intricately woven from Poe’s “Murders in the Rue Morgue,” adding layers of complexity to the narrative. Siegel’s revelation regarding Mirage underscores the show’s intertextuality, highlighting the nuanced blend of contemporary influences and classic literary references within the modern adaptation of Poe’s iconic themes.
As viewers explore the intricacies of Camille’s character in “Fall of the House of Usher,” they are reminded of the creative intricacies that filmmakers and actors often draw from diverse sources to craft engaging and multifaceted personas. Siegel’s candid revelation not only adds a unique perspective to her portrayal but also invites audiences to delve deeper into the web of inspiration that contributed to the rich tapestry of the series.
