Downton Abbey Season 3 Update (7/17/12)

I was checking the blog stats and noticed that this month the most hits I received were from people searching for Downton Abbey Season 3 news. (Second was people searching for a St. Anne and St. Joachim novena, which starts tomorrow.) So I thought I’d post a few more photos I’ve seen since my last Downton post on May 1.

We all know that Shirley MacLaine will be playing the role of Cora’s mother from the U.S., Martha Levinson. There should be plenty of sparks between her and the Dowager Countess.

Martha Levinson’s lady’s maid is Miss Reid, played by Lucille Sharp.

A Snippet of News
In a June 14, 2012 article posted on LA Times.com, it reads in part:

[Julian] Fellowes, battling a nasty bout with pneumonia, was recently putting the finishing touches on Season 3’s last episode. (In a shift, Season 2 will compete at the Emmys in the drama series category.) He says the coming season will find the show’s characters adjusting to life following the Great War, a period of “extraordinary social change” that will dramatically affect everyone at Downton. Oh, and Shirley MacLaine has joined the cast, playing Countess Cora’s visiting mother. Might we expect a throw-down or two between her and Smith’s Dowager Countess?
“Oh, I promise you there will be fireworks,” [Elizabeth] McGovern says. “Beyond that I say nothing.” (Read the complete post here.)

He is putting the “finishing touches on the last episode of Season 3. Yay! Although, we still have quite some time to wait….five months for those of us in the U.S.
Oh, well. In the meantime you can…
