If you're a fan of the television show "Downton Abbey," you are most likely a fanatic of Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham, the imperious matriarch of a British aristocratic family - and the source of the most memorable lines in the weekly PBS series.
The Dowager has gained something of a cult following in the three years the show has been on the air, and there are no shortage of online videos and blogs dedicated to her weekly zingers.
For Dame Maggie Smith, who plays the part of the Dowager, Downton has brought a surprising level of fame. "I am familiar to people now, which is what I was not before," she tells Steve Kroft in an interview that will air this Sunday on 60 Minutes.
