Downton Abbey star Elizabeth McGovern has said after she found stardom as a 19-year-old she appreciated older film industry men wanting sex - and she urged female actors to now 'own' that part of their lives. McGovern, who plays Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham in Downton, said she found the many sexual experiences during her twenties, after she starred in Robert Redford directed Ordinary People, 'educational' and wanted them. Inspired by the works of novelist Anne Rice, The Talamasca will follow the secretive society of the same name, who are the 'men and women responsible for tracking and containing the witches, vampires and other creatures scattered around the globe.'
