AN INTERVIEW WITH JOANNE FROGGATT<br />
<br />
Should Julian Fellowes ever decide to write a spin-off series from Downton Abbey, Joanne Froggatt already has one idea.
“Anna Bates Investigates! Anna absolutely knows that Bates wouldn't have done something like kill his wife, and she sees it as her duty to make sure the truth comes out.”<br />
<br />
At the beginning of the new series, Anna’s career is on the up, but her main concern is still dealing with the emotional anguish of having her husband in prison.<br />
<br />
“We start off with her coming to terms with the fact that Mr Bates is incarcerated. She’s trying to just carry on with her own job, trying to be strong, but she’s also trying to find out more information and see if she can gather any evidence to prove his innocence.” Not for a minute, says Froggatt, has Anna questioned her husband’s blamelessness. That makes her all the more determined to prove it to the rest of the world.<br />
“Obviously she believes in him 100% which is the nice bit about it. So she sees it as her duty to make sure that the truth comes out.” But standing up for her husband in the face of both hostility and indifference takes its toll. “You see her become a bit more of a woman, because things get tough. You see her really struggle with the fact that Mr Bates is not around. And you see her almost lose her positivity a bit - which we’ve never seen before. I think it’s nice to see her really strained, actually - because that's how you'd be. That kind of positivity is difficult to keep up in the face of everything. She has to battle.<br />
<br />
”Anna’s time in London, at the prison and on the trail of the truth has at least meant that Froggatt, who in her real life is a fashion fanatic, finally gets to wear something other than the same old pinny. “It's nice to have a change, certainly. I do get to go out in my civvies, which is nice. Then again it’s still a lot of long skirts, a nice blouse, possibly a brown coat and often a hat – so not exactly pushing the boundaries! But at one point I do get to wear one of Lady Mary’s dresses for a special occasion.”<br />
<br />
It’s the fashions that Froggatt would most like to teleport from the 1920s to modern life.<br />
<br />
“Some of the clothes are really beautiful, I think. Not necessarily for below stairs characters, but I love the period for fashion, I think it's absolutely gorgeous. Fashion does seem to have a 20s comeback every few seasons, and I completely see why. It's a very feminine look, the fabrics and the shapes are very pretty and distinctive. It’s just a shame we girls below stairs don’t get to wear them more often!”<br />
<br />
Froggatt has been to the US four times in the last year, so she’s had ample chance to sample the Downton Abbey effect as it has grown.<br />
<br />
“I went over in February 2011 for some meetings and back then people in the industry had heard of it, although the first series was just being aired at that time. Even then there was a definite buzz about it. But about six months later I went out again and met people, and everybody seemed to have seen it. And then Michelle [Dockery] and I went out for the Emmys - and it was incredible. At all the pre-Emmy parties everybody was saying, ‘We love your show.’ I just wasn't expecting that. I was expecting people to go, ‘Oh, who are they, and what are they doing here?’ or just to feel like I was on the edge of things looking in. But we felt really accepted, and what’s more, accepted amongst our peers, which was really amazing.”<br />
But of course Froggatt looked a little different at the awards ceremonies compared to her dowdy Downton Abbey look.<br />
<br />
“People don't recognize me. When Michelle and I were out for the Emmys, people would come up and go, ‘Lady Mary!’ straight away. Then they'd look at me and go, ‘Oh, oh, you're… Anna?’ Mind you, if they’re saying that I look so different I suppose that’s a good thing.”<br />
<br />
Filming Downton Abbey takes up a sizeable chunk of its stars’ year – series three took seven months. Even so, Froggatt has managed to squeeze in three film roles that could hardly be further from the 1920s or Anna Bates.<br />
<br />
“One's called UWantMe2KillHim, a British feature film, one’s called Filth with James McAvoy and Jamie Bell, and then I'm doing another one at the moment with Eddie Marsan called Still Life. What I will tell you is that only one of them involves me doing any investigating!”Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452785330895408993.post-63440124040070215912012-08-29T13:05:00.000-07:002012-08-29T13:05:05.469-07:00Michelle Dockery talks about season 3 - SPOILERSSPOILERS BELOW!<br />

AN INTERVIEW WITH MICHELLE DOCKERY<br />
<br />
“The big difference for Lady Mary in this series,” says Michelle Dockery, “is that she’s very happy!” After several series of scandal, strife and a long-running will-they-won’t they with Matthew Crawley, Mary is finally getting married. Dockery for one is a little relieved.<br />
<br />
“As much as that angst between Matthew and Mary was enjoyable to play, I must say it’s lovely now to be finally settled in some ways. Of course, like all marriages it’s not completely perfect. Let’s just say they have their teething problems at the beginning.”<br />
<br />
First though, there’s the wedding of the decade (with apologies to a certain royal couple). Episode one is all about the nuptials, which means Michelle Dockery gets to wear possibly the second most anticipated wedding dress of the last few years.<br />
<br />
“It’s an absolutely stunning design,” she says. “Caroline McCall [Downton Abbey’s series 3 costume designer] did such an extraordinary job. She’s really talented. She worked with Susannah Buxton [series
1 & 2 Costume Designer] – the master! – for two years so inevitably she’s just as brilliant. It’s a truly stunning dress. I'm sure that people will maybe make some comparisons with the Royal wedding. The crowds as we arrived at the church and stepped out of the carriage were just amazing, with all these supporting artists cheering us on.”<br />
<br />
Once wedding fever abates though, it’s time for Lady Mary to settle down and take stock.<br />
“I guess she becomes a woman in the third series. The way it’s written it feels that even though Mary maintains that pragmatic side to her – which can be quite bossy at times - she’s really grown up. That’s highlighted in Edith and Mary’s relationship. I think it’s fair to say that things have softened between them. They look out for each other a little more. Of course, they still disagree on things, like sisters do. But Mary is a little more mature now.”<br />
<br />
Dockery has been over to America several times since Downton Abbey became a hit there. She says that fans on the other side of the Atlantic are much more effusive than in her native Britain.<br />
“We’re approached far more in America. I wonder whether that’s to do with Americans generally being more confident at approaching someone. But the reception that we get over there is so warm that it’s wonderful. And it’s rare that this kind of response happens. I feel incredibly lucky to be part of it.”<br />
Does she think that the nature of the show – a portrait of the English aristocracy – is part of its distinctive international appeal?<br />
<br />
“Maybe. For Americans it’s a different effect – this world is unfamiliar to them whereas for our country you see a lot more period dramas. They have this fascination with the aristocracy and the Royal family, a part<br />
of history that they don’t have. So I guess the effect is even stronger than over here.”<br />
<br />
She does say that people who approach her abroad are surprised that, “I’m not that posh at all. Me and<br />
Dan [Stevens] get that all the time. None of the cast are really!” People’s reactions to Mary have changed here too, she says. Mary, in short, has become easier to like, or at least to empathise with.<br />
<br />
“In the first few episodes people loved to hate her. She was very cold, she had this icy exterior and she was vile to her sister. Then, half way through the first series, after the incident with Pamuk [the Turkish diplomat who died in Lady Mary’s bed], she began to soften. Then in the second series you see the heart of the character much more because of course we were at war - every time she saw Matthew could have been the last. And I’ve loved that arc that Julian has written for her. Even in the third series it’s changing.”<br />
The main change, she says, is in Lady Mary’s attitude to her family home.<br />
<br />
“In the first series it was like she was fighting against it. She shied away – she just wanted to go off and meet someone rich. This series, the thought of leaving Downton or Downton falling in to trouble is unthinkable to her. Because this is her legacy with Matthew: now it’s in her hands. And she feels the weight of that legacy more than ever before.”Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452785330895408993.post-18296152708451535702012-07-08T07:10:00.000-07:002012-07-08T07:11:48.643-07:00Michelle Dockery in The Hollow Crown<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Michelle Dockery stars as Lady Percy, Jane Seymour's great-great grandmother, in The Hollow Crown on BBC. It features four filmed adaptations of Shakespeare’s famous Plays, Richard II, Henry IV parts 1 & 2 and Henry V.<br />
<br />
The films tell the rise and fall of three Kings and how their destiny shaped Britain's history. They are directed by Rupert Goold, Richard Eyre and Thea Sharrock. The three kings are played by Ben Whishaw, Jeremy Irons and Tom Hiddleston respectively.<br />
<br />
Executive producer Pippa Harris says: “The Hollow Crown shows the trials and tribulations
and the murderous backdrop behind our own history. It seemed
particularly fitting to us to produce the films in 2012: whilst these
four plays collectively say so much about Britain, the global appeal of
Shakespeare is never-ending. Our phenomenal cast and crew have brought a
vivid and inspirational edge to Shakespeare for a worldwide audience.”<br />

Michelle Dockery took a break from filming the third series of “Downton
Abbey” to attend Burberry men’s wear show in Milan. “We’re over halfway
through the filming, and we’re moving into the Twenties now — it’s very
feminine and the corsets are definitely softer. we feel much more free!”
said the actress.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
In mid-August, Dockery will begin filming “Restless,” alongside
Charlotte Rampling and Hayley Atwell. The two-part BBC mini-series is
based on the prize-winning espionage novel by William Boyd. Dockery is
to play a young woman who discovers that her Russian mother worked for
the British secret service. </blockquote>

Downton Abbey's mother and daughter are teaming up to record an album for release later this year. This information was released in January. I don't know how I missed it. I love Michelle's voice and know that Elizabeth's band is quite a hit. I can't wait to hear them together.<br />

“It’s going to come out later in the year,” McGovern tells Mandrake at a
private screening of the film <i>My Week With Marilyn</i>, hosted by Colin
Firth at the Covent Garden Hotel. Dockery says: “It’s been so much fun.
Elizabeth is a great songwriter.”

The Essex-born actress performed a memorable on-screen duet with Crawley,
played by Dan Stevens, a columnist on <i>The Sunday Telegraph</i>’s <i>Seven</i>
magazine. Away from the cameras, Dockery, who lives with her boyfriend, an
architect, in fashionable Clerkenwell, prefers to sing jazz and has
performed live with McGovern’s band, Sadie and the Hotheads.

Downton Abbey star Michelle Dockery is to join Rufus Sewell and
Michael Gambon in a BBC adaptation of best-selling novel Restless.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The
two-part film - based on the book by William Boyd - will also star
Hayley Atwell and Charlotte Rampling, playing the same character more
than 30 years apart.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Acclaimed theatre director Edward Hall is to
dramatise the tale about a female spy on the run who has led a double
life for three decades.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Michelle plays a young woman, Ruth
Gilmartin, who learns that her mother Sally (Charlotte) was recruited by
the British Secret Service at the start of the Second World War, but
has been in hiding since a mission went awry.</blockquote>

Hayley - who plays the younger Sally - has previously starred in a Channel 4 adaptation of Boyd's Any Human Heart.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Boyd
said: "To have the chance to film a novel like Restless over three
hours is the sort of opportunity that only a television adaptation can
provide. It represents the most enticing and alluring of possibilities -
not only to tell an enthralling story of wartime espionage, love and
betrayal but also to lift the lid on one of the last secrets of the
Second World War."</blockquote>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGZv_imJuGLX31amvQTCknRj9ZWbxo0YiKugZbS9bebSdk4lg2UliMmbktbzDJ2WqWawy4skOeac914UDZKPihYPYFAxWONlZSRSZL_HnA7IexkykPUqCJIPEz5SbC_MIYKhc_ED7YtIU/s1600/joanne-froggatt-300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGZv_imJuGLX31amvQTCknRj9ZWbxo0YiKugZbS9bebSdk4lg2UliMmbktbzDJ2WqWawy4skOeac914UDZKPihYPYFAxWONlZSRSZL_HnA7IexkykPUqCJIPEz5SbC_MIYKhc_ED7YtIU/s320/joanne-froggatt-300.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<b>1. She grew up on a farm.</b><br />Froggatt, 31, grew up on a small
farm in north Yorkshire, near the English border with Scotland, where
she helped with the chores and played on the desolate landscape with her
older brother.
<br /><br />"My dad had a flock of sheep, which he used to milk, and then
my mum used to make cheese and yogurt out of the sheep's milk and sell
it. It was kind of an unusual upbringing really," she says. "It's very
kind of <em>Wuthering Heights</em> where my parents house is, moors and
deserted, really. It's very wild and mystic. When the wind is going and
the rain is lashing down, there's something so romantic about the whole
place."
<br /><br /><b>2. She's getting married.</b><br />Fiancé James Cannon runs
his own I.T. company, and is understanding of the demands of Froggatt's
show-biz career. The couple are set to marry later this year, and
Froggatt has been frantically balancing wedding planning with filming
the show and her upcomings movies, <em>Filth</em> (with James McAvoy and Jim Broadbent) and the indie <em>Still Life.</em> <br /><br />"But
this is what you hope for, really – you've just got to take these times
and enjoy them and grasp them by the horns and go with it because there
will be quiet times again in the future," she says. "But I'm enjoying
every minute of it at the moment."
<br /><br /> <br />
<div class="imgcont img240x320 alignright">
<b>3. The <em>Downton Abbey</em> cast get along famously</b></div>
Don't
confuse the class divide on the show with what happens once the cameras
stop rolling. The cast members "get along like a house on fire,"
Froggatt says.
<br /><br />"There's definitely been a few nights on the town with a bit of dancing involved," she says.
<br /><br /><b>4. She got an up-close look at the much-anticipated dramatic fireworks between newcomer Shirley MacLaine and Maggie Smith.</b> <br />"This
scene I was in, there's an amazing little conversation between the two
of them, a sort of snipey conversation," Frogatt says. "It was like
watching these two legends at work. It was one of the most special days I
think I've ever had on set. It was magical."
<br /><br /><b>5. Anna Bates will come into her own.</b> <br />Season 3 doesn't air in the United States until January, but Froggatt offers a sneak peek.
<br /><br />"You do see her grow up that little bit more, and she's a
married lady now, she's Mrs. Bates. She moves in to a more senior
position in the house and she kind of becomes a woman," Froggatt says.
"And obviously her and Mr. Bates are having their turmoils again, so
she's fighting to free her man as well."<br />

Speaking in New York at the Tribeca Film Festival to promote her new feature <i>Cheerful Weather for the Wedding,</i> McGovern admitted to the Los Angeles Times that season two of <i>Downton </i>had
"a slightly different tone... partly because the show had to deal with
this elephant which is the First World War" - and that meant that the
writers "had to do a lot of glossing over the domestic life, and some of
the small moments between characters that characterized the first
season." She added that "the show in the first season was more to my
taste than the show in the second season."<br />
<br />
Several follow-up
reports in the U.S. and the U.K. touted those comments as a knock
against the show - but McGovern says those stories went too far. In a
statement obtained by <i>TV Guide Magazine</i> from a spokesperson for Carnival Films, producers of <i>Downton Abbey</i>, McGovern - who plays Lady Cora Crawley, the American countess behind the massive Downton Abbey estate - seeks to set the record straight.<br />
<br />
"I am horrified that my comments about the second series of <i>Downton Abbey</i>
have been taken out of context and misinterpreted," she says.
["Seasons" are referred to as "series" in the U.K.] "I was in no way
criticizing the second season or implying that I loved or enjoyed it
less."<br />
<br />
McGovern adds: "When asked about the second series, I said
that the tone differed slightly from the first. There would be some
people who would naturally prefer the more domestic detail of series one
and others who would love the faster pace and heightened drama of the
war years. That does not translate that series two was any less
entertaining than series one - and many millions of people around the
world agree with me."<br />
<br />
Also, "Julian Fellowes
is a brilliant writer and I am proud and privileged to be part of this
show. The third season is so rich with character detail, storylines and
new faces that I can't wait for people to see it."<br />
<br />
<i>Downton Abbey</i>
is expected to be a strong contender at this year's Emmy Awards. The
third season is expected to air in the U.K. this fall and return to PBS
next January.</blockquote>

<div class="text parbase section">
One question she has been asking herself lately is why she and so many millions are fanatically gripped by the <i>Masterpiece</i> drama, <i>Downton Abbey</i>, in which she was recently cast. The publicity generated by her hiring prompted the producers of <i>Downton</i> to call her agent, ICM’s Jack Gilardi, to thank him. </div>

“She
is so professional and very creative,” said Gilardi, who has
represented her for 20 years. “She has a great gift understanding
people. She knows how to make you tingle.”<br /></div>
<a href="" name="body_text11" style="visibility: hidden;"></a><div class="text parbase section">
She
had never seen the series—but after watching the first two seasons, she
was hooked. Now, she is muzzled by creator Julian Fellowes’s edict that
no one from the cast can talk about Season 3: MacLaine, who will play
Martha Levinson, Lady Cora Crawley’s mother, could not offer much
insight.<br /><br />

Why no one else?Maggie Smith has been nominated for a BAFTA for supporting actress. She's been nominated four times for television work in the past, but has never won. Maggie is the only Downton Abbey nomination.<br /><br />

<br /><br />There's no doubt that Maggie is deserving of the nomination. The Dowager Countess has become a fan favorite. I only wonder why no one else was nominated. Michelle Dockery and Joanne Froggatt absolutely deserve it, as do many others in the large ensemble cast.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452785330895408993.post-20254713373562238562012-04-25T12:17:00.000-07:002012-04-25T12:17:13.578-07:00Downton Abbey Season 3 SPOILER Roundup<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There have been rumors and false spoilers adrift for a while now about what's to come in season three of Downton. I've been trying to weed through fact and fiction to compile a comprehensive list of factual spoilers.<br />
<br />
Here's what has been confirmed so far:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Mary & Matthew (Michelle Dockery & Dan Stevens) will be married. (<a href="http://visitdowntonabbey.blogspot.com/2012/03/behind-scenes-season-3-spoilers.html" target="_blank">Wedding Shoot Photos</a>)</li>
<li>Lady Cora's mother (<a href="http://visitdowntonabbey.blogspot.com/2012/03/behind-scenes-season-3-spoilers.html" target="_blank">Shirley MacLaine</a>) will provide a cash infusion into the family coffers.</li>
<li>The Dowager Countess (<a href="http://visitdowntonabbey.blogspot.com/2012/04/rumors-of-maggie-smith-leaving-downton.html" target="_blank">Maggie Smith</a>) detests feeling needy to the American, which will make for some great sparks between them. The shows producer Rebecca Eaton states, “There are some wonderful scenes between Maggie and Shirley MacLaine —
Shirley MacLaine being as ditsy as ever, and Maggie barely restraining
her sneer in having to deal with this American.”</li>
<li>The third season will be set during the Roaring 20s.</li>
<li>There will be a birth and a death. Producer Rebecca Eaton reveals, "Somebody will be born, and somebody will die, somebody pretty key in
the cast, unfortunately is not going to make it." </li>
<li>Dan Stevens and Maggie Smith have yet to sign on for season 4. </li>
<li><a href="http://visitdowntonabbey.blogspot.com/2012/03/new-season-3-downton-abbey-cast-members.html" target="_blank">Matt Milne</a> ("War Horse") has been cast as O'Brian's nephew, a new footman named Alfred. </li>
<li><a href="http://visitdowntonabbey.blogspot.com/2012/03/new-season-3-downton-abbey-cast-members.html" target="_blank">Ed Speleers</a> has been cast as the second new footman, Jimmy.</li>

LA Times reports that the rumors about Maggie Smith leaving Downton Abbey after the third season are false.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
From <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2012/04/maggie-smith-downton-abbey.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">LA Times</a>:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
According to the report [in Britain's Daily Mail], Smith asked series creator Julian Fellowes to
write her acid-tongued character out of the series so she could return
to her career on stage and screen.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
However, a representative for Carnival Film and Television Limited,
co-producers of the hit PBS series says, "Series 3 is currently filming
with Maggie along with the other cast. We do not comment on future story
lines, however there is no truth in the story that Maggie is leaving
the show."</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
What is assured is that someone will get written out of the show
during the now-filming season. "Masterpiece" executive producer Rebecca
Eaton was recently speaking to PBS supporters in Florida and revealed
that the new season of "Downtown Abbey," taking place in the 1920s,
would feature a birth and a death. "Somebody pretty key in the cast,
unfortunately is not going to make it," she said according to the
Orlando Sentinel.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
She also addressed the status of Smith herself, whose on-set behavior
doesn't sound too far off from that of the Dowager Countess herself.
According to Eaton, "Maggie Smith is a handful, it's true. She's very
difficult. She knows her worth, and she's tricky on the set, but she
delivers when the time comes."</blockquote>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
