Maggie Smith plans to leave Downton Abbey after season six
The sixth season of the hit British TV series "Downton Abbey" could be the last for Violet Crowley, the Dowager Countess of Grantham, played by Maggie Smith throughout the show. The actress herself, who recently turned 80, said this in an interview with the Sunday Times. "Rumor has it that the sixth season of the series will be the final, and I do not understand how the series can continue," - in particular said Smith. – Indeed, I don’t know how to play further … If I'm not mistaken, my heroine is at least 110 years old today. We are in the late 1920s. " The witty and caustic Countess Violet Crowley is the most popular and memorable character in Downton Abbey. and her role earned Maggie Smith two Emmy awards and one Golden Globe. However, fame and recognition from viewers can sometimes be annoying. As the actress says, no one feels safe in the Abbey. "I have lived my life without all this. I could walk through the galleries, do what I want, and now I am deprived of this. If someone decided that he urgently needs to communicate with you, you will not be saved." Unsurprisingly, Smith is not a fan of the fashionable selfie these days. "Before, they were autographs, but now everyone wants to be photographed, and it's terrible. I'm starting to feel like everyone who thinks that photos take your soul. There is no privacy left. Soon, private life will cease to exist."
