  • Stay Resolution-Strong
    FEBRUARY 2016 LOOK NO FURTHER: DRAMA NJTV IS YOUR HOME FOR During the past five seasons of Downton Abbey, we’ve seen the tides of history sweep from the sinking of the Titanic and World War I to the jazz-hot beginnings of the Roaring Twenties. We’ve seen Matthew Crawley melt Lady Mary’s heart. And thanks to the fabulously quotable Dowager Countess, we’re still pondering, “What is a week-end?” The sixth and final season of the popular Masterpiece series opens in 1925. Women’s rights have given Lady Mary and Lady Edith new positions of responsibility: Mary runs the COURTESY OF NICK BRIGGS estate, and Edith manages the magazine she inherited from Michael Gregson. Tom has left for Boston, and newlyweds Lady Rose and Atticus are trying their luck in Jazz Age New York. Anna faces a murder charge, and big doubts hang over the servants’ jobs. Will great houses and the fortunes that support them soon be gone? One thing is certain: NJTV will continue to be your DOWNTON ABBEY SEASON 6 home for great drama. PREMIERES WEDNESDAY, On February 2, we’re pleased to premiere Mercy FEBRUARY 3 AT 9PM Street, a new six-part series following the lives of doctors, nurses, contraband laborers, and MERCY STREET ANTONY PLATT Southern loyalists in Union-occupied Alexandria, AIRS TUESDAYS AT 10PM Virginia, and the Mansion House Hospital in the early years of the Civil War. Filmed on BEGINNING FEBRUARY 2 location in Virginia, the series is the first American drama to air on public television in more than a decade.

Onstage, comments Nicholas Martin, the director of the Huntington Theatre Company, Jones "has a direct connection from the playwright's voice to the audience." Because she values being able to relate to the spectators, Jones particularly relishes working on stage, but she has also appeared in a number of films, including a television movie about a lesbian couple and the legal battle to retain custody of their daughter. Jones began acting at an early age, "playing everything from Tarzan to cowboys-and-Indians to Romeo and Juliet" in the woods in Paris, Tennessee, the town where she was born on November 21, 1956. Her parents encouraged her interest by sending her to classes with Ruby Crider, a local drama teacher. Seeing Colleen Dewhurst in Eugene O'Neill's A Moon for the Misbegotten caused Jones, then sixteen, to aspire to be a professional actress herself. Her grandmother, Thelma Cherry, supported her in this ambition, and Crider helped her get into the acting program at Carnegie Mellon University.
