Shirley MacLaine joins Downton Abbey
``My late grandfather (Ronald Neame) directed Shirley MacLaine in Gambit in 1966 so it is a delight for me that she will be joining us on Downton Abbey,'' producer Gareth Neame said.
British television network ITV says it has ordered a third season of its popular period drama series ``Downton Abbey,'' starring Maggie Smith.
