Shirley MacClain and Maggie Smith exchanging barbs! 😂😂
-
Shirlely kissing was Maggies hand was purely unscripted. That was lovely, that moment.
-
"Not as much as you will, when you get to know him." Is one of the nicest things I think she has ever said.
-
She outlived the Dowager! She cannot die...
-
Honestly the best quote here is, "Alfred and Carson will know more about life than we ever will"
-
1:15 never noticed before how dear Mrs. Levinson throws a quick but dismissive glance at Tom, Matthew and Mrs. Crawley, just as she enters the house. Lovely touch.
-
Oh my goodness, who could they find to play an appropriate foil for the Dowager Countess in Maggie Smith? I thought no one on the planet until some genius in casting came up with MacClain to play Martha. Every acting choice is delicious and you can watch these scenes five times and catch something new.
-
Good for her. After all, they were living off HER money.
-
As brash as she is. I just love how Mrs Levinson immediately comforts Edith. Takes her side. Sure he might have been the wrong man to cry over, but she knew Edith was lonely and needed to comforted and shown a little love.
-
Julian Fellowes may be a Conservative peer, but those exchanges by Martha and Violet about cultural and political traditions, similarities and differences in the UK and the USA in 1920 are spot on, and the best kind of popular art as critique.
-
I LOVE Maggie Smith! She's such a delight
-
"Our husbands tied the money up pretty tight when they were taken." Knowing their habits I can't imagine why.
-
The politeness and the lack of profanity in the time period what a delightful thing to my ears and lack of electronics
-
They need to do the Crawly's in America, the Dowager would be so funny!
-
I like Martha Levinson, especially her wit and forward-thinking.
-
Shirley MacLain as Countess Cora's Darling Mama. Downton Abbey simply got B.E.T.T.E.R...
-
1920--the year my mother was born.
-
I wasn't surprised when Mrs Crawley was 1st to support Martha's idea of an indoor picnic as dinner. Anything to put down class norms.
-
I just love Martha Levinson!
-
