It is said that behind every great man is a great woman, and there is at least one famous husband who truly believes it.
Julian
Fellowes, the Oscar-winning creator of Downton Abbey and Gosford Park,
says the secret to his success is his wife, Lady Emma Kitchener, who
cured him of his insecurities and allowed his career to flourish.
Speaking to The Lady magazine, Fellowes explained that marriage gave him the smell of confidence:
'The great change in my professional life
was sealed by my marriage. It gave me a basis that I had
lacked before. I smelt different.' His wife helped himover all his self-doubt he had carried since his childhood.
His
new-found self-esteem led Fellowes not only to better acting roles, but
also to greater belief in the strength of his own writing. After 20
scripts he produced Gosford Park, for which he won the Oscar in 2002.
After that, his previously rejected novel Snobs was published in 2004, becoming a bestseller.
Downton Abbey will
launch its fourth series on ITV next month.
Simply amazing. Isn't that what marriage is about? A perfect partnership when you help each other with their ''baggage'', to excel in life and nurture their dreams. It is commendable that he openly attributes his success to his wife.A great many lessons are to be learned here. What do you think?
What is the secret to your success?
