Pauline Collins

She's a legend of British TV, and how cool would it be to snag one of the stars of "Upstairs, Downstairs" for that show's symbolic sibling? Since she was a maid on "Upstairs," we'd love it if she moved upstairs this time around, playing a distant neighbor or perhaps another unexpected distant relative.
