Phyllis Logan

Phyllis Logan embodies, for me, the deep bench of British acting. A Scot from Paisley, she announced herself by winning the BAFTA for Most Promising Newcomer for Another Time, Another Place in the early eighties, and four decades later she is still essential. Her Mrs Hughes in Downton Abbey is a small marvel: dignity and warmth held in perfect tension, plus a Screen Actors Guild ensemble award to show for it. What I love is the absence of vanity in her work. She is a craftswoman who has only grown richer with age, and I hold her in genuine, unreserved esteem.

Phyllis Logan (born 11 January 1956) is a Scottish actress, widely known for her roles as Lady Jane Felsham in Lovejoy (1986–1993) and Mrs Hughes in Downton Abbey (2010–2015). She won the BAFTA Award for Most Promising Newcomer for the 1983 film Another Time, Another Place and was nominated for BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for the same film.
