[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like there's some character like the blackmailing bitch in every season. And also, when was Mary's dalliance with Lord Gillingham, anyway? This is 1925 now...

[b]Why the hell does Elizabeth McGovern always cock her head in that mournful way when she delivers her lines? It's very distracting[/b].

I had the exact same thought last night.  She also has a particular cadence to her voice that she overuses, IMO.[/quote]

At least I'm not the only one who notices this.  She's been delivering her lines in that very simpering voice since season 1, but for some recent past seasons she keeps bending her neck forward, e.g.,

My guess is she does this when she knows she's in close up and feels self conscious about her neck b/c over the years it's become more crepey.

In the latest episode, she's doing it in discussion with Edith in the hallway and it's so weird b/c when she's shot from behind, she actually raises her head and neck to a normal position when she addresses the butler. [/quote]
