Lady Mary an ex-con? After
‘Downton,’ stars seek changes
Create your own ‘Bountiful Container’
Maggie Stuckey will teach about, do a hands-on demo
of container gardening at Seaside Public Library March 12

SEASIDE — Spring is approach-
ing, and with the help of author
Maggie Stuckey, the Friends of
the Seaside Library presents a
program on container gardening
at 1 p.m. Saturday, March 12.
The event will take place in the
Community Room at the library,
followed by book sales and sign-
ings.
With few exceptions — such
as corn and pumpkins — every-
thing edible that’s grown in a tra-
ditional garden can be raised in a
container. And with only one ex-
ception — watering — container
gardening is a whole lot easier.
Stuckey will begin with the
down-to-earth basics of soil, sun,
water, seeds and propagation and
give attendees a complete plant-
by-plant guide for growing beau-
tiful veggies and Àowers.
Stuckey’s book “The Boun-
tiful Container” covers 17 vari-
eties of vegetables, 19 varieties
of peppers, along with beans,
Thumbelina carrots, Chioggia
beets and sugar snap peas. She
also delves into herbs, edible
Àowers and perhaps most sur-
prising, fruits. Did you know
you could grow apples, peaches,
lemons, blueberries and ¿gs in
containers? If not, Stuckey will
show you how.
As an extra bonus, Stuckey
will do a hands-on demonstra-
tion of planning and planting a
container. At the end of the event
there will be a drawing, and one
lucky person in the audience will
get to take the planted container
home.
Stuckey is a writer who
grows vegetables and cooks up
a storm in her Portland home.
She is the author of seven other

LOS ANGELES (AP) — What’s
happening to certain “Down-
ton Abbey” stars is downright
criminal.
Joanne Froggatt, the TV
drama’s vulnerable Anna
Bates, is morphing into a
19th-century serial killer in
PBS’ “Dark Angel.” Michelle
Dockery, who plays coolly el-
egant Lady Mary, is a sleazy
American ex-convict in TNT’s
“Good Behavior.” And Kevin
Doyle, the good-hearted Mr.
Molesley, is a bad-hearted
police detective in NetÀix’s
“Happy Valley.”
The end of “Downton Ab-
bey” on PBS’ “Masterpiece”
after six seasons means new
career paths for its stars,
with both the upstairs and
downstairs crew embracing
change-of-pace roles — al-
though devoted viewers may
want to enshrine them forever
as their beloved characters.
“Anybody who’s watched
and loved ‘Downton’ is going
to remember these characters
for the rest of their lives,” said
executive producer Gareth
Neame. But cast members
“can’t put a pin in their career
and say that’s it.”
British actors are especial-
ly keen on variety and like
“to move away from things
they’ve been previously suc-
cessful with,” Neame said.
Froggatt said change is
part of acting’s allure. “Af-
ter playing a role that you’ve
loved playing for years, there
is a certain part of you that
goes, ‘I fancy doing some-
thing a bit different,” she
said.
That’s the path taken by
Dan Stevens, who’s avoid-
ed lord-of-the-manor roles
since playing Matthew
Crawley in the drama’s first
three seasons. Among his
upcoming projects: the films
“Beauty and the Beast” and
sci-fi drama “Colossal,” and
“Legion,” a Marvel Com-
ics-based TV pilot for FX.
After the March 6 “Down-
ton Abbey” ¿nale, here’s
where to ¿nd its former gen-
try and servants:
Hugh Bonneville (Lord
Grantham): Possibly the actor
staying closest to his “Down-
ton” pedigree, he plays Lord
Louis Mountbatten in the
Indian independence movie
“Viceroy’s House.”
Laura Carmichael (Lady
Edith): Takes on a sibling
role again in the 1940s histo-
ry-based romance, “A United
Kingdom,” introducing her
sister to her future husband,
an African prince.
Brendan Coyle (John
Bates): Plays English politi-
cian Augustine Birrell in the
historical Irish ¿lm drama
“The Rising.” Also in the
romantic movie “Me Before
You,” based on the novel by
Jojo Moyes.
Elizabeth McGovern
(Lady Cora): Writing and re-
cording her fourth album with
the band Sadie and the Hot-
heads. In April, starting re-
hearsals at the National The-
atre in London for “Sunset at
the Villa Thalia.”
Lilly James (Lady Rose):
Takes on a classic part, Eliza-
beth Bennet, in an adaptation
of the non-classic parody of
Jane Austen’s novel, “Pride
and Prejudice and Zombies.”
In “The Kaiser’s Last Kiss,”
a German soldier falls in love
with James’ Jewish Dutch-
woman.
Allen Leech (Tom Bran-
son): In the ¿lm “Hunter’s
Prayer,” based on Kevin Wig-
nall’s novel “For the Dogs,”
Leech plays the former boss
of a hired assassin whose as-
signment goes awry.
Penelope Wilton (Iso-
bel Crawley): As lonely wife
Pauline in the upcoming Brit-
ish TV series “Brief Encoun-
ters,” set in the 1980s, Wilton
is one of four women whose
lives are changed when they
start selling exotic lingerie at
house parties.
