I've also loved his relationship with Matthew. She's the typical mother who always wants what's best for their son.

Viewers may recognize these qualities in her most famous role to date, one that has made her a star in PBS living rooms, Isobel Crawley in "Downton Abbey." Mrs. Crawley is a middle-class woman who does battle with the gentry, mostly represented by the viperish Maggie Smith. Wilton more than holds her own. Currently she is shooting the third season of the show but won't reveal much about it. She certainly won't address the rumor that one of the principal characters won't make it to the fourth season.

"Whoever let that out - I think it was a woman at PBS - it was a silly mistake," Wilton says. "Because it spoils it for people. It is one of those novels where you want to know what's going to happen next."

'Downton Abbey': Penelope Wilton Says Shirley MacLaine Was 'Marvelous'

"Downton Abbey" star Penelope Wilton had kind words for her new co-star Shirley MacLaine. While speaking to Vulture, Wilton had nothing but praise for the Oscar winner, who guest stars on Season 3.

"Shirley was wonderful. She's so marvelous," Wilton said. "She's in the first two episodes, and we loved her."

MacLaine joins the Season 3 cast as Lady Cora's (Elizabeth McGovern) mother. Masterpiece's Rebecca Eaton, an executive producer on the series, said MacLaine's character tangles with Maggie Smith's Dowager Countess. "There are some wonderful scenes between Maggie and Shirley MacLaine -- Shirley MacLaine being as ditsy as ever," Eaton said.

According to Wilton -- or the Dowager Countess' first nemesis, Cousin Isobel, to "Downton" fans -- MacLaine fell for one particular actor on the series. "She fell in love with Carson -- Jim Carter, who plays Carson the butler. She thought he was heaven. How could you not?" Wilton said with a laugh. "It was such a thrill to work with her. We got her to do 'If They Could See Me Now' for us. Such good fun."

MacLaine told HuffPost blogger Alex Simon that working on the series was a treat as an actor. "I can't talk about the scripts and stuff, but you know the environment ... it seems like we sat around a big table for about two and half weeks and I was surrounded by these extraordinary actors," she said. "I adore Maggie Smith. The comedy of class, played so straight, is a wonderful thing for an actor to sink their teeth into."

In addition to MacLaine's presence, Season 3 of "Downton Abbey" will feature a birth, a wedding and a death. Could the Dowager Countess kick the bucket? Rumors swirled about Smith leaving the series, but Masterpiece told HuffPost TV that "Season 3 is currently filming with Maggie and the rest of the cast. We don't comment on future storylines, but there's no truth in the story that Maggie is leaving the show."
