DOWNTON ABBEY Season 3 Preview: Life, death and Shirley MacLaine
“Matthew and Mary do get married,” MASTERPIECE executive producer Rebecca Eaton said last week at a Winter Park (Florida) party. She previewed the British drama, which is in production, for supporters of WUCF TV, Central Florida’s new PBS station.
In the new DOWNTON season, everyone is waiting for the arrival of the mother of Cora (Elizabeth McGovern), a character played by Oscar-winner Shirley MacLaine. They’re waiting for MacLaine’s character because the British family, especially Violet (Oscar-winner Maggie Smith), needs money again, Eaton said.
“There are some wonderful scenes between Maggie and Shirley MacLaine — Shirley MacLaine being as ditsy as ever,” Eaton said. “And Maggie barely restraining her sneer in having to deal with this American. 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.”
Eaton supplied more teases: “Somebody will be born, and somebody will die, somebody pretty key in the cast, unfortunately not going to make it. It’s the 1920s now.”

"I loved the cast and crew The Walking Dead. They’re like family to me I know people talk about that all the time. I have never had an experience where I’ve gotten so close with the people I’ve worked with. We all know how lucky we are to be there. We all believe in the show immensely. We all believed in each other immensely. I miss them with all my heart. I’m so sad I don’t get to go mix it up with them again. I love them all. I could go on and on about any single one of those people. It was such an honor to be with them, and I’ll miss them."
