David Bianculli on Shirley MacLaine’s new role in Season Three of Downton Abbey:
Out of desperation, Cora, his American wife, sends for her wealthy mother to visit, in hopes that the Crawley women can persuade her to finance their lavish lifestyle. The mother, Martha, is played by new cast member Shirley MacLaine, who’s excellent. She doesn’t steal the show — she can’t, not with Maggie Smith already dominating every scene she’s in as Cora’s mother-in-law, the acerbic, sarcastic Dowager Countess — but MacLaine fits in perfectly.

“An aristocrat with no servants is as much use to the county as a glass hammer.”
— Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham
