True to its montage of characters, classes and conundrums, Monday night’s “Downton Abbey” movie premiere in Manhattan required a certain degree of dressing for the part.
Raquel Cassidy, who plays Miss Baxter, was less certain about the provenance of her multitiered spaghetti strap dress. “OK, that’s the one question I can’t answer. I am so sorry. I should know this. I have all of it. It’s written down. I would like to say I’m drugged up to the eyeballs, because I’ve got a really bad cold and that that’s my excuse. It is in my phone but my phone doesn’t fit in this bag. I will never do this again on the red carpet,” she said.
All along the uncharacteristically civilized red carpet, the cast sportingly and earnestly responded to questions. The man who made all of this possible — writer and producer Julian Fellowes — said, “We’re living through such a strange present at the moment. Sometimes we feel the past must have been calmer. I don’t think it was particularly. Actually, the period we’re depicting was one of great social change, which we do touch on in the movie.
One eagle-eyed media type spotted Highclere Castle’s current owner George Herbert, 8th Earl of Carnarvon, on the red carpet with his wife. Another Downton Abbey-related IRL couple included Carmichael and Michael Fox, who acts as the servant Andy. Wearing an Oscar de la Renta thigh-baring gown, Carmichael admitted that she ended the series with a keepsake. “On my last shooting day, I took a handbag. I was given it, I have to say. I sound like I stole it.
