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

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

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.

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

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
