Michelle Dockery strips to her underwear, snorts cocaine and downs booze in shock new scenes for US TV show Good Behaviour
The Downton Abbey star returns as embattled anti-heroine Letty Raines in gritty crime drama Good Behaviour
SHE is best-known for playing the somewhat prudent Lady Mary Crawley in hit period drama Downton Abbey.
But Michelle Dockery is quickly shedding her good girl image as stills from the second season of crime drama Good Behaviour show the beauty stripping off for the camera and knocking back the booze.
The 34-year-old actress can also be seen snorting cocaine as she returns as provocative con-woman Letty Raines in the TNT series.
The show's latest episode will see the embattled anti-heroine flashing quite the eyeful as she watches herself undress in the mirror before sparking up a cigarette.
She also swaps her dark hair for fiery red locks as she reverts back to a life of crime after being released from jail.
While Michelle - who also stars as a sex attack victim in new Netflix series Goddess - has landed a number of gritty roles as of late, the British star recently revealed hopes of reliving her Downton Abbey days in a feature-length movie.
Speaking to New York Daily News, she confessed: "It’s still very much up in the air.
"We really are positive something will happen but it’s difficult getting together 18 cast members.
“We’re all busy doing other things — thanks to the show — but I’m hopeful something will happen.”
Downton Abbey fans were forced to bid the show goodbye after its 2015 Christmas special, despite its ability to still pull in the viewers.

The BBC drama attracted audiences of over 12 million in the UK and was regularly watched by 10 million in the US, despite airing on a non-mainstream channel.
A source told The Sun: “Film bosses have requested the services of crew members and accountants to work on the picture.
“A budget has been set and now it’s a case of getting everything in place to start shooting.
“It would take something big to stop the project from happening now.”
Show creator Julian Fellowes has been so keen to make a Downton Abbey film he started penning a script well in advance of the movie being given the go-ahead by producers.
