The first filmed appearance of Anne Shirley was in the 1919 silent film, Anne of Green Gables, in which the role was played by Mary Miles Minter. The film was directed by William Desmond Taylor. As of 2011, no prints of this silent film adaptation are known to survive. The 1919 film version moved the story from Prince Edward Island to New England, which one American critic—unaware that the novel was set in Canada—praised for "the genuine New England atmosphere called for by the story". [44] Montgomery herself was infuriated with the film for changing Anne from a Canadian to an American, writing in her diary: Anne of Green Gables (1954), a Canadian radio drama produced and broadcast by CBC Radio, adapted into 13 parts by Andrew Allen and starring Toby Tarnow as Anne.

[8] It’s been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will.” Anne of Green Gables (1958), a recreation of the 1956 film directed by Don Harron, starring Kathy Willard as Anne.Miss Muriel Stacy: Anne's energetic replacement teacher. Her warm and sympathetic nature appeals to her students, but some of Avonlea's more old-fashioned parents disapprove of her teaching methods. Miss Stacy is another "kindred spirit," whom Anne views as a mentor. Miss Stacy encourages Anne to develop her character and intellect and helps prepare her for the entrance exam at Queen's Academy.

Her teen years are filled with characters like Marilla, experiencing life changes of her own, Anne’s childhood best friend, Diana Wright, and her enemy-turned-friend Gilbert Blythe, who now has a crush on her. Also prominent are Mr. J.A. Harrison, one of Anne’s new neighbors, who lives with a parrot named Ginger, Mrs. Rachel Lynde, the town gossip, Miss Lavendar, a kindred spirit, and Anthony Pye, a mischievous young student. Well, we all make mistakes, dear, so just put it behind you. We should regret our mistakes and learn from them, but never carry them forward into the future with us.” Based on the popularity of her first book, Montgomery wrote a series of sequels to continue the story of her heroine Anne Shirley.

In Anne of Avonlea, Anne is now “half-past sixteen” years old. Over the next two years, she becomes the village schoolteacher and prepares to leave for college. But, Anne’s journey becomes one of growth, as a beloved teacher recognizes her intelligence and helps her focus on her studies, later attending the Queen’s Academy and earning a college scholarship. She also grows emotionally, setting aside her differences with Gilbert. a b c d e Gammel, Irene; Lefebvre, Benjamin (2010). Anne's World: A New Century of Anne of Green Gables.
