"Martha is not just a crass, cranky American coming in there to call a spade a spade. She's very smart and to a large extent sensitive as to what's going on with all her daughter's children.

The Dowager Countess is a human being who has complications and a past of some pain that Martha understands - and to some extent addresses herself to."
