Lady Sybil heads south
Jessica Brown Findlay can't believe she's about to make her movie debut in Albatross. "I had no idea what would happen when I got a little part in Downton Abbey," she told me. "Now I'm acting with Maggie Smith and the show's winning Emmys and I'm on posters." The husky-voiced star, 22, plays a wild child in the film, and is Lady Sybil Crawley in Downton."Maggie Smith is just inspirational – she told me to always give them a version of the line how you really feel it should be delivered, then do it their way: invariably, they'll end up using your way because it'll be the one with the most conviction." Using this advice she has now flown off for two weeks in the south of France with John Hurt and "the guy who was in Captain America" (she means Sebastian Stan), filming a major adaptation of Kate Mosse's Labyrinth, directed by Christopher Smith (Black Death, Severance). "I'm in medieval dress, playing a young princess, so I'll be tight in a corset, I'm sure," says Findlay.
