Laura Carmichael (Lady Edith Crawley)

Laura Carmichael (Lady Edith Crawley)Laura Carmichael played middle sister Lady Edith Crawley in the show. She had one of the more noticeable transformations from character to real-life looks.

According to Radio Times (via The Telegraph), Carmichael first understood the audience's reaction to the physical look of her character after the first episode of the series aired. She shared, "It was really funny opening the newspaper and reading the reviews and going, 'Oh, I'm playing the ugly one.' I hadn't thought of that."

But this perception changed over the years. If anything, Carmichael was noticed more so for her character's status rather than her looks. She also shared, "People ask me to go horse-riding and things. I have to say, 'I'm not really posh, I don't own a horse, I don't know how to do it.'"
