1. Unlike Lady Mary, she comes from humble beginnings

Dockery is the youngest of three daughters. Her father, Michael?Dockery, was born in Athlone, Ireland, and started off as a truck?driver. (He now works as a surveyor). She scrimped and saved in order?to attend the prestigious Guildhall School of Music & Drama, working?as a waitress, in a newspaper recruitment office, and as an assistant?for the National Youth Theatre.

2. She's not quite as smooth as the haughty heiress she plays on TV?

The fictional character she most identifies with? "Elaine from?Seinfeld," she told Vanity Fair earlier this year.

4. Thanks to her character's antics, men tend to keep their distance

Dockery jokes that her now-infamous?scene with a Downton guest who?becomes her lover -- and then dies in the middle of sex -- has scared?potential real-life suitors away. "Men are terrified of me now," she?quipped to David Letterman last year.

4因?yàn)閯≈械木时硌?，男士們現(xiàn)在可是對米歇爾敬而遠(yuǎn)之

米歇爾在去年David Letterman采訪中調(diào)侃自己說，由于劇中和土耳其大使發(fā)生的“事故”，導(dǎo)致現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中都沒人敢追求她。

5. It took a long time for Downton's success to sink in

It wasn't until "I was in a café in New York waiting for my sister,?and a couple next to me were anticipating the last episode," Dockery?told Britain's T.V. Choice Magazine recently. "I was sitting there?contentedly, listening, thinking, 'This is amazing.' Then when they?got up to leave they recognized me and told me how much they loved the?show. I remember texting Dan Stevens [Matthew Crawley]. To be on the?other side of the world and have that effect was really something."

5《唐頓莊園》的成功絕非一兩天的事

米歇爾在最近的一次采訪中說：“一天我在一間紐約的咖啡館里等我姐姐，我旁邊坐了一對夫婦正在討論《唐頓莊園》的最后一集，我就在那聽著，然后當(dāng)這對夫婦準(zhǔn)備離開的時(shí)候，他們認(rèn)出了我，還和我說他們非常喜歡這部片子。當(dāng)時(shí)我還給Dan Stevens發(fā)了條短信告訴他這件事”。
