Anne Durham, Lady Flintshire

I was watching a clip from Maurice in which Clive and his fiancée are talking to Maurice on the telephone. Clive is played by Hugh Grant and Anne is played by Phoebe Nicholls. I had watched Maurice not too long ago as well as a few times over the years since it was made in 1987. I hadn't made the connection of this with a recent role played by Phoebe Nicholls. She is also Susan, Lady Flintshire, mother of Lady Rose, niece of Violet, the dowager countess of Downton Abbey. The ingenue becomes the odious mother. Her depiction of the odious mother is quite delicious but I'd be happy to leave her alone at the London house.
