Downton Abbey

11-23-2013, 03:46 AM

Maggie Smith won a Best Actress Oscar for The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie in 1969 which was the first time I saw her. She was as terrific then as she is now in Downton Abbey. I'm in my fourth season. Here's a montage of her Oscar-winning role as a teacher in the 1930s:

I've had a mad crush on Elizabeth McGovern ever since I saw her with DeNiro in Once Upon A Time in America. in 1984. It's easy to see why....those blue eyes in Downton Abbey are just a beautiful now as they were then:

Never been able to understand why it's a popular programme.
It's not a surprise that you lot like it though.

I love costume drama. It's huge with my mates in London but no one seems to be all that fussed with it here (vancouver), unless they are already into Corrie.

I love it because I love the actors, I love the costume, I love the hair and the dialogue. It's very theatrical, like a play. And there are very few soaps I enjoy, though I did like East Enders for a while when Kat and Alfie were getting together.

If you don't like period drama, you won't like it. I love period drama. Dangerous Liasons is one of my favourite movies.

I sit an fantasise about dressing the way they do while I watch.

I do love the men's suits in it. they are very dashing.

I am so excited that another season is coming! I love DA. I kinda have a thing for Maggie Smith and she is radiant and wicked in this. I also loved Shirley McLaine as Cora's mother.

I'm going to find out if any of my friends plan to watch Downton Abbey in January because yesterday, I found a website with last winter's complete season of DA + Christmas Special.

Can hardly wait until the new season begins!
Can hardly wait until I can afford a TV.

Can hardly wait until January (LOL) !!!
