My Take

Samantha Bond occupies a lovely double life in my mind: the elegant Miss Moneypenny across the Pierce Brosnan Bond films, and the sharp-tongued Lady Rosamund in Downton Abbey. But she's fundamentally a stage actress, and you can feel that classical training in the precision of everything she does. I admire performers who treat a supporting role as worth full commitment rather than coasting on a famous franchise. There's a controlled wit to her work that's very English and very hard to fake. She's the kind of reliable craftsperson productions are quietly built around, and I think she's underrated for exactly that reason.

Overview

Samantha Jane Bond (born 27 November 1961) is an English actress. She played Miss Moneypenny in four James Bond films during the Pierce Brosnan era, and appeared in Downton Abbey as the wealthy widow Lady Rosamund Painswick, sister of Robert Crawley, the Earl of Grantham.
