‘Downton’ author brings favorite novelist to TV
By LYNN ELBER
AP TELEVISION WRITER
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Respect
is due Julian Fellowes, who
as a proliic writer has con-
quered TV with Emmy-win-
ning “Downton Abbey,”
ilm with “Gosford Park,”
which earned him an Oscar,
and theater with “School
of Rock — The Musical,”
a Tony Award nominee. So
which author does he most
admire?
Anthony Trollope, at least
among the 19th century’s
array of superstar novelists
that includes Jane Austen
and Charles Dickens.
Fellowes has fulilled his
goal of adapting Trollope
for the screen with “Doctor
Thorne,” a four-part series
that debuted May 20 on
Amazon. The Weinstein Co.
production stars the versatile
and remarkable Tom Hol-
lander in the title role, with
Stefanie Martini as Mary,
the physician’s niece.
She lands in the cross-
hairs of Lady Arabella
(Rebecca Front), who’s de-
termined to quash her son’s
love for the commoner and
steer him toward an Amer-
ican heiress (Alison Brie,
“Mad Men”).
“Doctor Thorne” marks
Fellowes’ irst TV series to
air since — a moment of
silence, please — the end of
“Downton Abbey.” He’s also
written an online serialized
novel, “Belgravia,” about
class conlict in 1800s En-
gland, and is starting work
on an as-yet unscheduled
NBC series set in 1800s
America, “The Gilded Age.”
In an interview with The
Associated Press, Fellowes
discusses how he sees the
past, what he’s working on
for the future and, succinct-
ly, competing at the June 12
Tony Awards with Broadway
sensation “Hamilton” in the
category of best book for a
musical.
The Associated Press:
Why is Trollope a favorite
of yours?
PHOTO BY RICH FURY/INVISION/AP, FILE
Julian Fellowes’ “Doctor
Thorne,” a four-part series on
Amazon, debuted May 20
with Tom Hollander in the ti-
tle role.
Fellowes: There is
something about Trollope’s
voice that I have always
found very appealing. He
has a kind of mercy, a sort
of non-judgmental qual-
ity which actually I ind
very modern. None of his
characters are all bad or all
good, they’re somewhere
in the middle. And even his
heroines make mistakes,
which in Dickens you never
get. Trollope’s women are
real, and I ind that very
beguiling.
AP: How is “Gilded Age”
coming along?
Fellowes: I’m trying to
clear my decks of every-
thing else, because when
I start ‘Gilded Age’ I don’t
want to be writing it with
three other things going
on at the same time. At the
moment, I’m up to my neck
in research. It is extraordi-
nary, the whole business of
1880s New York, this amaz-
ing city rising up, this city
of the rich, as they build
their great (homes) up Fifth
Avenue. ... This life that es-
tablished itself in the 1870s,
‘80s, ‘90s, it was like nothing
the world had seen. ... These
huge fortunes in the days
before income tax, sudden-
ly springing up everywhere.
AP: You’ve done several
popular projects set in
earlier periods. What is
the appeal for you and
the audience?
Fellowes: I also enjoy
doing contemporary stuf,
I enjoyed ‘School of Rock.’
But there is something
about letting people
understand that people in
the past were just men and
women with ambitions and
emotions that are much the
same as our own. Obvi-
ously, in a diferent social
context or slightly difer-
ent political system, but
nevertheless the impulses
that made them get up in
the morning, made them
cry or laugh, were much
the same as with us. When
I was young, there was a
tendency to teach history
as if these people were sort
of alien and they didn’t
have the same impulses
as us, which I think is very
misleading.
AP: Is a “Downtown
Abbey” movie, which
has been discussed, still
possible?
Fellowes: I think it
would be a good idea and
I think it would be fun for
the audience. As far as I’m
concerned, I’m in. But I’m
not the one who makes the
decision. We have a pretty
good idea of what we’d
make the ilm about.
AP: You started out
acting before becoming a
sought-after writer. How
would you rate yourself
on-screen?
Fellowes: Someone
once asked me, ‘Would you
rather have won an Oscar
as an actor?’ My reply: No
one ofered me one as an
actor. In the end, your life
is partly what you make of
it. It’s also partly what you
make of what it is. ... If you
keep saying, ‘I don’t want to
be a dancer, I want to be a
singer,’ then you bat away
your own good luck.
AP: Have you won-
dered why you had to vie
for a Tony in the year of
“Hamilton”?
Fellowes: The truth of
the matter is I have a Tony
nomination, which I never
thought I’d have. Suicient
unto the day.
