A different viewpoint: Maybe the fact that Maggie Smith did not enjoy this role made her Violet a bit more believable. Her sort of distance from the role loving it made Violet more "acid" in a way, her "i am so tired of your sh*t" looks were more true - in a very positive way, i think her distance of the role made Violet more distanced as a character, just like you would expect from a grand lady. Maybe i am imagining things, but i think the character Violet benefited from the lack of love from Maggie Smith and made her a more grandiose character. (no doubt she could have played it perfect even if she loved being Violet, but i feel that in this instance it wasn't only her professionalism that made the role work as well as it did but also this emotional distance between the two)

@@junewilson1629 The question with Edith is, is being vindictive her nature or is that something she became in a response to Mary? I say this as somebody who has Mary as one of her favorite characters in the show. But Mary could be vendictive in a very natural way. Like it required no efford, no pre scheming, just an opportunity she cant resist. mary has had her great moments as well of course, but those that loved her, like Mathew and Tom (in this case platonicly) knew Mary could be vicous and where not afraid to call her out on it, which was why they where able to be so close with her. Edith, more often then not, seems to behave that way sometimes out of self defence, or lashing out from pain done in the past. Edith is like that abuse victem that sometimes abuses others to deal with her past. Mary had no prior abuse, she just has that nature to her when left unchecked the worst can and will come out. Mary and Edith at their worst are equaly horrible really. And at their best they are both amazing. But on everage I do think Edith is kinder at heart and not truly vendictive and her worst behaviors stem from mistreatment from Mary, as well as the neglect of her parents (who for the most part seemed much more focused on her sisters.

@@amberanimeOh I wholeheartedly agree. You nailed it. Edith only lashed out as a direct response to Mary's viciousness. And Tom did put Mary in her spot. He would not let her bully him. And strangely enough she respected him for it as much as it irked her surely. And Tom and Edith always did have a common denominator. They were both the lesser order in the family. So Edith did not feel vulnerable with Tom and vice versa. However, when Mary later has come to realize (with Bertie) what she had done she finally let her nicer colors shine through. I venture to say she was afraid of being vulnerable which is why she was such a vicious vixen. It's easier to keep everyone at bay and distance by being mean. And Edith was essentially always the ugly duckling in the family. And they surely let her feel it for the most part didn't they? That's why I felt so vindicated for her when she finally married Bertie and was by social standards much higher than any of them would ever be.

Another reason the casting was so great. She was supposed to be the brash rich modern American of the time, used to doing and seeing things differently, confident to push modern American ideas, and happy to mock the ‘old’ ways of the ridged class system with distain. It should also be remembered there wouldn’t be Downton, or the Earl of Grantham, if it weren’t for the Levinson largesse. The extreme wealth of americas nouveau riche marrying into old aristocratic families kept this class system alive and well much longer than it otherwise would have. Old money needs boosts of new money every few generations for it endure. This lifestyle is expensive to sustain
