Daisy Mason – Sophie McShera
In real life, a number of the Downton Abbey servants looked considerably different. These actors, like those on Orange is the New Black, were extremely stripped down during their time on the show. They’re far more beautiful and put together than on television.
Daisy Mason, a kitchen maid in the costume drama, was played by English actress Sophie McShera. Despite asking the make-up team for just a little eyeliner and blusher, she wasn’t allowed to wear them because they would have been “too dramatic.”
