    What blew me away wirh her role as young lady Danbury is her total commitment to exemplifying the British accent very Amercans can pull it off you can usually tell. It shows she studied her craft with pristine execution. She defo dersevs an award her role was so powerful and vulnerable at the same time. I love the sisterhood with young QC and the dialogues with King Charles mother you got to understand the steely iceu nature of the Mother when she informs Young LD of her past and what she endured. She actually instills a source of strength to LD hence she promised herself she will never marry again and evolved into the older Danbury. Really great acting. And I have to say this. For ShondaRhimes to excute such a phenomenal series of QC. Those British directors really need to take stock and understand why this series was so impact full. We have a lot of period dramas here in the UK. I watch none none of them. Why? They never reflect black/brown people in all its glory. Never. For an African Amercan to write this story. All I can say is Thank you Thank you for such an amazing cast its very rare to see an entire cast display such excellent artistry. You are actually spoilt for choice in who tp interview. Let's not forget younger LD's lady in waiting she was excellent in her role.
