History Creator / MichelleDockery

* FakeAmerican: Has deployed a generic American accent in ''Film/{{Selfless}}'', ''Series/GoodBehavior'', and ''Series/DefendingJacob'', a deliberately sickly-sweet Southern twang in ''Film/{{Hanna}}'', and a more Western-appropriate drawl in ''Series/{{Godless}}''. ''Good Behavior'' is especially notable as her character Letty is a con-artist and adopts several in-universe fake accents for her various personas.

** Was attracted to playing Rosalind in ''The Gentlemen'' because she was a fan of other Creator/GuyRitchie crime films like Film/{{Snatch}} and Film/LockStockAndTwoSmokingBarrels, and because she wanted to play a role with something closer to her own accent.

* ''This Town'' (2024): Estella Quinn

* "This Town" (2024): Estella Quinn

* ''Film/BoyKillsWorld'' (2024)

* A 2015 BBC adaptation of "Literature/TheTurnOfTheScrew"

* MsFanservice: Generally averted as most of her characters tend to be fairly conservative in the way they act and dress, with sexual scenes of any kind being rare or mostly implied. The only real exceptions are the 2016-2017 series ''Series/GoodBehavior'' and ''Series/{{Godless}}''; in the former her character Letty is a seductive con artist and thief in an… ''energetic'' relationship with a hitman, so provocative clothing, [[LingerieScene lingerie scenes]] and sex scenes are a OnceAnEpisode occurrence, and in the latter Dockery appears topless for the only time in her career, although her hard-working ranch owner character Alice is otherwise not really sexualised at all.

* MsFanservice: Generally averted as most of her characters tend to be fairly conservative in deed and dress, until 2016-2017 when she played the lead role of Letty Raines in the Creator/{{TNT}} series ''Series/GoodBehavior'', where virtually OnceAnEpisode Letty appears in her underwear (or less) while switching disguises or having very frequent sex with her partner-in-crime Javier, although actual nudity is [[NippleAndDimed scrupulously avoided]]. Between filming ''Good Behavior’s'' first and second seasons, Dockery briefly exposed her breasts in the Creator/{{Netflix}} series ''Series/{{Godless}}'' as the prelude to an [[SexyDiscretionShot off-screen romantic encounter]]. None of her roles since these have involved remotely the same level of sexual activity or skimpy dressing.
