There is something infinitely immaculate about her, or the character she portrays in Downton. She has a pure symetric face, and a catty sought of sharp look in her eye. Yet there is a sweetness about her, that not even her sharpest remark can conceal. She's lovely! Similar to Rosamund Pikes.
shareShe's like a living picture to me, with her features giving a new meaning with each new angle she turns to. I don't think she's perfect, but this imperfection is what makes all "Michelle thing" work ideally, it's such a hook for imagination. Every time I'm carried away immediately with an ocean of contexts. For me, she is like a key to a magic box with stories and melodies, she gives so many associations - with the photos of my young granny who was a rare beauty, with songs (belle Michelle... jazz... and there is and old Ukrainian one about brown eyes and black eyebrows like silk ribbons) and portraits and aristocracy - she'd be great as Anna Karenina, now I have to move to the next thread to agree with this ;)
shareShe's one of the most enigmatic screen presences in years, and talented as well.
shareAs well and as hell! She's so, so vibrant! One of my favourite actresses!
