Jessica Brown Findlay

I've got four piercings in my left, so we've dubbed my right one the 'period drama ear.' I have to be filmed from that side when I do emotional close-ups in 'Downton.'

I don't know if I'm so righteous.

I trained as a ballet dancer - well, I started when I was two and a half, and was serious about it from when I was eight until I was 18.

I looked like Brigitte Bardot, and I was Stravinsky's goddaughter.

I knew I wanted to be an actress as soon as I popped out.
