52 h. ago ‘I knew my job was to fulfil a man’s fantasy’: Elizabeth McGovern on Downton, early fame and co

As the Downton Abbey finale hits the big screen, the actor looks back on the pitfalls of scoring huge success so young – and the liberation she later found singing in a band and writing a play about Ava GardnerFor the maudlin among us, the final Downton Abbey film should perhaps come with a warning.

When the ITV series started in 2010, wasn’t life better? Did Elizabeth McGovern feel this too, the sense of time passing? After all, her character, Cora, is now ageing out of custodianship of Downton along with her husband, Lord Grantham, in favour of a younger generation and a changing era as the 1930s dawn.“No!” says McGovern, snapping me out of my melancholy. “I feel very excited that I’m going into a gratifying new phase in my career.” As well as reviving Cora, there is the play she has written, Ava: The Secret Conversations...

It’s a dread-packed, gory watch that’s hugely entertaining‘I am human, and nothing human is alien to me,” wrote Roman playwright Terence in 165BC. He hadn’t seen any of the Alien films, though. He hadn’t seen Alien or Aliens or Alien 3 , he hadn’t seen any of the Predator crossover canon, he hadn’t seen Resurrection or Prometheus or the one after Prometheus. He hadn’t even seen Alien: Romulus, even though it’s named after the guy who co-founded Rome. The Oscar-winning franchise has earned well over a billion dollars worldwide. There’s nothing more human than loving Alien.Part of the franchise’s success is its malleability. A creature-horror stuffed with Freudian nightmare, the films blend action, sci-fi, theology and satire.
