Quite unintentionally, this site became dedicated to the complex and eccentric Michelle Dockery. My aim is to provide fresh material and perspective for her fans.

In the 'Michelle Dockery Professional Archive' link below you will find the most complete collection of her screen performances on the internet.

What happened to f*ckyeahmichelledockery? did he/she stop? why? I really liked that blog. Does michelle know about it? does she know he/she stopped? does michelle know about your blog? you have a really nice blog!

Yeah Heather felt it was time for her to stop posting. All good things must end at some point, my blog included.

I really don’t know if Michelle has seen any of our blogs. My tumblr is not that big, so probably not. But thank you very much for the encouragement!

I get what you're saying about Edith. But we've had three straight "poor edith" seasons. Not only that, but Laura Carmichael by virtue of her playing Edith has been the "butt" of so many Downton Abbey jokes. And I don't think the character of Edith or Laura for that matter deserves that kind of treatment. Laura has said in an article that she herself gets the "Edith" treatment. I'm not saying everything fall into place. I'm saying let her have a moment of happiness like Mary & Sybil did. :( </3

Actors like playing dramatic roles, they don’t go to drama school to learn how to act contented. Laura is extremely lucky in her career, playing an iconic part in a massive international hit and being well paid for it. She has a pretty awesome life.

I also find it hilarious people keep making ugly sister jokes about Edith and Laura kept showing up in amazing outfits and stunning photo shoots. I love seeing her turning it around. The only time I felt bad for her was that horrible Peter Hall outburst at Uncle Vanya.

I’m sure Laura wants things to work out for Edith in the end, but as Saint Augustine said “O God, make me chaste and celibate, but not yet.”

I suppose we're both wrong about Edith. Every season she'll be unlucky according to Gareth Neame and Julian Fellowes has a "strong sense" that she'll forever be unlucky. That's sad and unfortunate. Thoughts? tvline(.)com/2013/06/15/downton-abbey-spoilers-gareth-neame-emmys-2013/

Her trials and tribulations are who Edith is. There are several more seasons to go, and it would be character death for Edith should everything just fall into place for her. DA is a very simple show really. There’s always a chance at happiness so long as you’re alive and trying. I think that’s one of the messages.

Us DA groupies really thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the time and effort you've spent of keeping us informed about DA and especially our favourite lovely MIchelle Dockery.

Don’t make me blush.

You know how some people say that Mary is Julian's favorite character? That's true! But I think Edith is also his favorite character. If you look at this video youtube(.)com/watch?v=OACtJ0D6CXQ Edith sounds a lot like Julian, as he was overlooked in his family & said he needed to get away from his family to make his own way. Also, his novel "Snobs" main character is named Edith. And he's an admirer of Edith Wharton. I refuse to believe that Edith is his punching bag. "Edith" means a lot to him.

Thanks for the link, I’ll definitely watch it when I have time.

I don’t believe for a moment Edith is a punching bag. She’s the most relatable of the Crawley sisters. There are far more Ediths in the world than Marys and Sybils. Without Edith the aristocracy would seem to be made up exclusively of superwomen, which surely wasn’t the case.

Julian Fellowes created Edith as a high born Bridget Jones. She’s the underdog in high places, and I think she is one of the most memorable characters on the show. People loved The King’s Speech for much the same reason.

Would be great to see P Diddy and Michelle Dockery in the ROC VODKA commercial.

Ciroc vodka? You never know, Michelle used to do Kellogg’s Special K ads.

OMG I just realized Ciroc was a sponsor of the June 10th media event. P. Diddy’s involvement with Downton Abbey runs deeper than just his parody.
