- She's married to a familiar MASTERPIECE face. Staunton has been married to Downton Abbey‘s very own Mr. Carson, Jim Carter, since 1983, after the two appeared together in a production of Guys and Dolls at London’s National Theatre the year before.
- She's no stranger to MASTERPIECE. Staunton played Miss Pole in Cranford and Return to Cranford, alongside other MASTERPIECE stars such as her husband Jim Carter, Judi Dench, Flesh and Blood co-stars Claudie Blakley and Francesca Annis, and World on Fire (and future The Crown) star Lesley Manville, among others.
- Acting is a family affair. Not only are Staunton (Cranford) and Carter (Downton Abbey) actors — the couple’s daughter Bessie Carter is, too! Bessie most recently starred in Beecham House as Violet (alongside her father’s Downton Abbey co-star, Lesley Nicol) and as Evie Wilcox in Howards End.
- Her talents stretch far beyond the screen. Fans may best know her for any of her biggest roles, from the nightmarish Dolores Umbridge in Harry Potter or as Miss Pole in Cranford, but she’s not just a film and television star.
