Joanne Froggatt

The 61st Monte-Carlo Television Festival returned in style on Friday, not only welcoming a star-studded list of shows in competition and actors in town to support them but also welcoming back past jury chairs including Jane Seymour, Eric Close, Danny Glover and Jason Priestley. They were all in attendance at the opening night premiere of the MGM-produced limited series, Last Light, starring Matthew Fox (Lost) and Joanne Froggatt (Downton Abbey).

Joanne Froggatt did not see it coming when she finished reading the script for the second season of the thriller Liar, she was completely shocked by the revelation of who had killed Andrew Earlham. The writers Jack and Harry Williams had kept her guessing to the end and she was completely surprised.

The overarching theme of Downton Abbey was in a sense always the inexorable passage of time, and the end of the gilded Edwardian era. So it is as fitting as it is inevitable that the hugely successful and multiple Golden Globe nominated series itself would come to an end.

Joanne Froggatt (nacida el 23 de agosto de 1980) es actriz de teatro, televisión y cine. Ha sido reconocida internacionalmente a partir de su interpretación de Anna Bates, la doncella de Lady Crawley en el drama de época Downton Abbey.
