When did CBS decide to tell us all that we are trogdolytes unless we call females "actors".

My Significant Other will love this.

Thanks BD.

well, thankfully, Dame Maggie has not lately deemed it necessary to "drop kit".....I recall an interview with Helen Merrin when she was well past prime and she said she would still consider it. Though I don't have TV and have not seen the PBS serial, I'd guess it is another UP/Downstairs knockoff without the Bertie Wooster humor.

A treasure. Thanks, BD.

(brobro, someone published a photo of Helen Merrin on vacation in a bikini last year. I think she might still appeal to some of a "certain age.")

well, to some with discrimination a smelly rubbish outlet is still a smelly rubbish outlet. thanks for your reply. brobro

Consider me "to some"... and of a "certain age" both. "rubbish" is rather harsh for Merrin, I think, she has done some fine work over the years, not everything, but enough.

You have just "class"ified yourself by your response.

I'll watch anything with Helen Mirren in it, and I can't get enough of Maggie Smith, either. I was amused to hear that she hadn't really been famous until Downton Abbey. I've been enjoying her at least since "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie." She makes every movie she's in.
