美剧中25位最具影响力的女性

    19. 维尔莉特•克劳利

    • 头衔：格兰瑟姆公爵夫人

    • 电视剧：《唐顿庄园》

    • 扮演者：玛姬•史密斯

    语带机锋的格兰瑟姆公爵夫人是个传奇人物，在互联网上也正迅速走红。她那犀利尖刻的言辞刻薄且欢乐，也引发了社交媒体上的许多段子。身为格兰瑟姆公爵和母亲的维尔莉特•克劳利虽并不完全掌管着唐顿庄园的产业，但却颇有影响力。她总是带着高贵的骄傲（虽然内心也有柔软之处）坚守着传统，在和片中其他角色争论的时候，她总是能够胜出。格兰瑟姆公爵夫人的座右铭是：“别表现得垂头丧气的，亲爱的，看起来像个中产阶级。”

    19. Violet Crawley

    • Title: Dowager Countess of Grantham

    • Show: Downton Abbey

    • Played by: Maggie Smith

    Her rapier wit is the stuff of legend -- and Internet memes. The Dowager Countess's withering zingers are so cutting, and so hilarious, that they've inspired multiple Twitter feeds, Pinterest boards, and Tumblrs. Violet Crawley, mother or Lord Grantham, isn't exactly in charge of the Downton estate, but she might as well be. A stickler for tradition with a passion for pretension (albeit with a secret soft side), when she tousles with other characters she usually wins. A Dowager Countess maxim: "Don't be defeatist, dear, it's very middle class."
