Dowager Countess To Say Goodbye to Downton Abbey

“They say this is the last one,” Smith said of the upcoming sixth season, “and I can’t see how it could go on. I mean, I certainly can’t keep going. To my knowledge, I must be 110 by now. We’re into the late 1920s.”

But just because her time at Downton is coming to a close doesn’t mean that Smith, aged 80, plans on withdrawing from acting. “The bleakness of not doing it,” she said, “and missing out on the friendships that you make, is too much to bear.”
