Elizabeth McGovern sheds light on the real Ava Gardner
About this episode
Oscar-nominated actor Elizabeth McGovern (Downton Abbey, Ragtime) is perhaps best known for her role as Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham on the acclaimed TV series “Downton Abbey.” Now, Elizabeth is in Canada with a new theatre production she wrote and stars in, “Ava: The Secret Conversations,” which sheds light on the life of Hollywood legend Ava Gardner. Elizabeth sits down with Tom Power to tell us the similarities between her life and Ava’s, how celebrity culture has changed (and not changed), and what it was like finally saying goodbye to “Downton Abbey” after 15 years.
