Nice podcast by Elizabeth. I love that one of the character's name is Cora. :lol:

THE CHAPERONE by Laura Moriarty, read by... - Audado - FriendFeed

Oh I heard about that book too , isn't cool that the protagonist is called Cora too? :D

Has anyone has in mind what style of frocks may wear in s3? ( maybe you can reference designers or frocks from movies of the 1920s)

Coco Chanel may be an inspiration. I found this too online:

I like it too Lindsay the pics of Channel. However, I don't see Cora going to bohemian, her style will be modernish but at the same time traditional. I don't know if I made sense here but I think that if she were to go too extreme Robert may have a stroke :goof::eek:
I also see Cora liking about of Beatrice's fashion style in the 'House of Elliot ;)

I'd love if she'd go to extreme! (and I swear, it's not because it could give Robert a stroke :lol: )

Elizabeth about her new album :love: She loves her music so much :sigh:

Quote:

The album is called How Not to Lose Things. When is it going to be released?
The plan is for us to release it when Downton Abbey comes back on the air in England, which will be the fall.

How would you describe your music?
It’s very lyric-oriented. To me, the lyrics of the song define the kind of style it is. And my bandmates are capable of doing any style, so in the second CD there are some songs that are very jazzy, and a lot that are more acoustic and folk-sounding.

What’s the significance behind the album title?
It’s one of the songs. All of the songs come from me – where I am in my life, and where I think a lot of people are, which is … we’re not old, but we’re not young. We’re not young kids saying, “I love you, I love you, I love you.” We’re looking at our partner of 20 years and exploring what that’s all about, or looking at our kids growing up, and trying to capture musically how that feels. These are things that are on the mind of people in the middle of their life, which I don’t think a lot of music addresses. So “How Not to Lose Things” is somebody who’s lived a long time, and is trying to keep track of everything in their life. When you’ve got a couple of kids and a lot going on all the time, it’s quite a knack to keep it all in place, and all at your fingertips.

Who are your musical influences?
I’m a little trapped in my youth. I always say Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and Leonard Cohen. There’s a certain age where you listen to music a little differently than I think you ever do as an adult. I also like Lily Allen, Harper Simon and Eliza Doolittle.

I thought it's been leaked already. :lol:

LOVE her eyes. Hugh gets to stare at those at their scenes. :sigh:

Hugh's definetely lucky (and Robert too :P )

Quote:

And what of McGovern – how is she adapting to the massive success of Downton, especially in America?

“It’s always shocking to me – their effusive love for it, at least the couple of times I’ve been. They just can’t get enough of it.”

Surely this must be the response that every actor hopes for?

“You want people to notice and respond to what you’re conveying and I do have that feeling about Downton. People pick up on tiny little details and nuances in the story and talk to each other about them. That is incredibly gratifying.”
