- Lily James, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, 2017. Has to be British with a title like that… Candidates for Juliet Ashton included Dockery and Rebecca Ferguson – and Kate Winslet when Kenneth Branagh was due to direct. Kate was replaced by Rosamund Pike, who quit during more production delays. As well as Lily James, director Mike Newell used other actors – and one location – from Downton Abbey.
