Why no forthcoming work?


I know she took a break after Downton finished filming! But there is nothing in the pipeline - she must surely have scripts.

Her latest movie LADY IN THE VAN - had amazing box office success, over £11million in the UK alone - her box office clout is greater than ever... Surely people are sending her things?

Now that Downton has finished, I think she's told her agent not to accept stuff for a while as she may want a rest and spend more time with her family.

I hope she doesn't ever formally retire though, because her movies have a charm that no one else's have, on the whole. Because they each have a similar character about them.

Please excuse typos/funny wording; I use speech-recognition that doesn't always recognize!

Hopefully in the New Year a new project will be revealed.

I would love to see her back onstage, but I think it's doubtful now sadly.

But another movie role surely is on it's way, she's proven at 81 to be a HUGE box office sensation.
