RIP Maggie Smith

“I was right about my maid. She’s leaving — to get married! How could she be so selfish?”

HA HA HA! My most favourite quote of her Downton Abbey character!

Maggie was gorgeous, intelligent, hard working and had a contagious sense of humour!

Wonderful actress - an end of an era.

The death of Glenda Jackson was the end of an era.

She led a good life and brought pleasure to millions. RIP.

Wonderful actress over many decades.
I am guessing they will be showing films as a tribute.

R I P Maggie Smith

She was an incredible actress, even in a café in Cornwall where I happened to be. As she prepared to leave the venue she stood up, threw her pashmina over her shoulder with a great flourish and marched out as if she was leaving the stage. She filled the room. Unforgettable.

RIP Maggie ⭐️

RIP.Dame Maggie. My goodness, she
will be missed. She was simply marvellous in every role she played.
Truly one of my truly all time favourites.

Like everyone else on here, I thought that the sun shone out of her. I loved her in Downton most of all, but she was so good in other roles too.
She gave us so much pleasure over the years and I hope she enjoyed those acting roles as much as we did.
I don’t think she will be forgotten for a very long time. RIP dear Maggie.

I enjoyed her in so many films and TV shows over the years, I can’t pick a favourite. A truly wonderful actress.
RIP Dame Maggie Smith and thank you for such marvellous memories.

Quartet!

Apparently she wasn't particularly interested in her roles in Downton and HP, saying they weren't really acting.

She was amazing in Alan Bennett's Down Among the Lentils. I also loved her in Quarter.

Such a talented actor. She dominated every scene - in a good way. I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve seen her in but -the dowager duchess in `downtown and prof mc in Harry Potter her recent parts were so good. And of course, the lady in the van

Like all true stars she was also dignified and private. Her talent spoke for itself. She didn't seek attention through tell all articles and parading her personal life across the covers of OK and Hello magazine.

The BBC got something right tonight, she led the Radio 4 6pm headlines ahead of Netanyahu.

R.I.P. Dame Maggie Smith. You were an incredible actress, both in comedy and drama, for so many decades. Thank you so much for entertaining us over the years. Sincere condolences to your family and friends. 💐

We have lost one of our best ever actresses. Lady in the Van, Downton Abbey and many more, her great talent will be sorely missed. R.I.P. Dame Maggie Smith

Brilliant actress. For me it was Lady in The Van.

I first saw her on stage with Kenneth Williams in Share My Lettuce and have followed her career since then. A sad loss for British theatre.

RIP I enjoyed her in Harry Potter.

Loved her in Downton, also Lady In The Van.She was working for so very long, what a life!

She was just - superb!

A wonderful actress who will be sadly missed. It is so fortunate there are recordings and films of many of her great performances, so that we can still enjoy her gift.

such a wonderful, inspired and adaptable actress.. We were so amazingly lucky to see her range and listen to her biting humour.. a real loss

So sad..... She has given me much pleasure over the years which I will not forget. So sad.....
