Lady Rose MacClare/ Lily James #1: "My life's been all over the place. North, south, east, west."
 

Lady Rose MacClare

(Born in Autumn 1902[2]) is the youngest child of Hugh and Susan MacClare, the niece of Agatha and Louisa, the younger sister of James and Annabelle, the sister-in-law of Annabelle's husband and the great-niece of Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham. In Autumn 1920, she visits Downton Abbey and stays with Violet in the Dower House.

Lily James

James was born Lily Chloe Ninette Thomson in Esher, Surrey, England. She began her education at Arts Educational School in Tring and subsequently went on to study acting at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, graduating in 2010.

Lily played the role of Katrina in Play House alongside Obi Abili and Marijka, and in Definitely the Bahamas alongside Ian Gelder and Kate Fahy. This is a double bill written and directed by Martin Crimp at the Orange Tree Theatre in Richmond as part of their fortieth anniversary.

Her other theatre credits include Desdemona in Daniel Evans production of Othello at the Crucible Sheffield, alongside Dominic West and Clarke Peters and Ella and Taylor in Vernon God Little at the Young Vic Theatre in a production of Tanya Ronda's stage adaptation of DBC Pierre's Booker Prize-winning novel Vernon God Little directed by Rufus Norris. Most recently she starred as Nina in a modern adaptation of The Seagull at Southwark Playhouse.

Lily starred in Fast Girls, the 2012 movie directed by Noel Clarke centered around a group of young female athletes competing in the World Championships. Previous to this, James played the role of Korrina in Warner Brothers the Wrath of the Titans, where she appeared alongside Sam Worthington, Rosamund Pike, Toby Kebbell, Bill Nighy, Ralph Fiennes, and Liam Neeson.

Her television credits include Poppy in the fourth season of ITV's Secret Diary of a Call Girl starring Billie Piper, the BBC production of Richmal Crompton's Just William with Daniel Roche and the third and fourth season of popular British series Downton Abbey.

In April 2013, James was cast as the title character in a live-action re-imagining of Walt Disney's Cinderella.

Oh, nice! A thread for Rose. Add me please, I like her :)

Thanks for the thread Lindsay.
Add me too please. :)

I've added you both. :)

I'll add more to the OP as we go along. For now, I like Lady Rose too. A far cry from what I've thought of her in 3x08 but that was only the first ep for her so I was willing to give her a shot. Yes she might be trouble but then a girl her age likes to explore, likes an adventure, so I won't fault her for that. Just as long as she knows her limits and doesn't go overboard.

Thanks! :)

In 3x08 it was the first time we see her and they need to introduce her personality quickly. So I think they have a bit caricatured her like the girl who goes to party and doesn't care of her family, what's is wrong.

Rose is a young girl who wants fun but she's nice not arrogant.
I liked when she was with Anna.

TFTNT! Please add me! :blush:

TFTNT! I loved her in the latest episode :)

I've added you, Nadine. :)

Me too, Mai. And seriously, how can one look good in a dress and a lady's maid costume? :thud:

And this one's hilarious. :lol:

This scene was great.
I wonder if Jimmy will use what he saw to have some privilege?

Ugh, knowing Jimmy he might but I hope we're wrong.

Downton stars Allen Leech, Hugh Bonneville, Lily James & Joanna David don their pjs for The National Brain Appeal Pyjama Party campaign.

I know, I'm alone on that ship and there's no clue for it ever happening, but I think Allen and Lily look extremly good next to each other and I secretly want Lady Rose and Tom Branson to get together in season 5!
