Oh no 😢

She is my favourite actress of all time, I know she was aging, but like Grandmabatty I imagined her here forever

RIP Dame Maggie Smith 💐💐💐

RIP Dame Maggie Smith and thank you for much joy

Oh no, such sad news. She was such a wonderful actress - so many amazing roles throughout her long career. RIP Maggie.

RIP Dame Maggie.

That’s so sad I too thought she’d go on forever RIP Maggie.

RIP Dame Maggie.

What a career she’s had.

Noooooo.
Can't be😢
🕯️

Oh No!

Wonderful actress first saw her in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, but she will be remembered for all her roles of late, Lady Grantham to the Lady in the Van. Who says all the best parts go to actresses in their youth. A loss to the acting world.

RIP Dame Maggie

RIP

Just seen this.
What a versatile actress she was, and how her career developed throughout her life; always the slightly unexpected.

Another “Oh, no!” moment.
I first saw her back in 1970-ish as Miss Jean Brodie in the film along with Robert Stephens whose voice I adored. They were such a glamorous couple, on and off stage. Did anybody see them in “Much Ado” as Beatrice and Benedick? They could hardly keep,their hands off each other!
I imagine we will all have our favourite Maggie Smith role- from the Dowager Countess of Grantham to Alan Bennett’s Lady in the Van.
Truly one of the greats.

A brilliant actress. So talented. I loved her in The Lady in the Van and Harry Potter too!
What a loss 😔

What a fantastic actor and character. She always brought something special to any role she played.
RIP Maggie

RIP to a true national treasure and an extremely talented and versatile actress.

A good, long life, well led.

Condolences to her loved ones

A true star, who really deserved the title ‘actress’.

Will be sadly missed.

And how beautiful she was in her earlier roles.

You forget how ‘young’ she once was, because she has been acting for so many decades.

Such sad news. A great actor who will be missed by us all.

Oh no, 😢
Wonderful actor, always seemed to have a twinkle in her eye.

RIP Dame Maggie

Wonderful actress - an end of an era.

My favourite was when she was in one of Alan Bennett’s monologues. A truly great actress with a truly great script. Bed. Among the Lentils in the Talking Heads series
