Maggie Smith has died

[Buzz Rules]

Dan, really? She's a big time actress best known for her roles in Harry Potter as Professor McGonagall and Downton Abbey as the great Dowager Countess of Grantham. Maybe these images of her will help...

I think one of my favourite movies is Keeping Mum. If you haven't seen it, do it. It has an amazing cast (Patrick Swayze, Rowan Atkinson, Kirstin Scott Thomas) and is such a great British dark comedy. Can't say too much without spoiling. But this is one of my rainy day movies I will never get tired of it.

I think this is one of my favourite interviews:

Other big movies were:
- Hook
- Sister act
- The First Wives Club

Not much of a movie goer here, @FoxC63. Never saw a Potter movie nor a DA movie. Your first picture there reminds me a bit of Rachel Dratch from SNL's Debbie Downer skits.

ETA...did not see any of those either, @Karin1984.

I've heard of some of those and the other listed movies, but never saw any of them. Nope, no bells ringing for me yet. Sounds like a very prolific actress.

And the only actress to truly represent Professor McGonagall perfectly.

I knew who she was and some of her movies, but was surprised at some on the list. Just didn't remember her in some of them.

 

[TCRAIG]

She was stellar in everything she ever did - I especially loved her in the HP movies, Downton Abby, Lady in the Van and Evil Under the Sun…and just saw a new one (not a new movie, just new to me) called Time After Time…

That's a lot of movies she was in. I recognize some of the names, but did not see any. Not a big movie hoer here. But Marie and I did go see the biopic "Reagan" last week.

If you get a chance, watch some of her movies. She truly was a treasure.

Don't forget Sister Act.

• Reverend Mother : [about Deloris] That is not a person you can hide. That is a conspicuous person designed to stick out.
  
  
• Monsignor O'Hara : You took a vow of hospitality for all in need.
  Reverend Mother : I lied.

• Reverend Mother : People wish to kill you. Anyone who's met you I imagine.

May She Rest In Peace.

Watching “Death on the Nile” now. E have seen it many times but thought it would be a good night to view it again. I still think “The Prime of Miss Jean Brody” is her best.

 

[NotUrsula]

One of my favorite Maggie Smith roles, from fairly early in her career -- and she's SINGING!

This is from the 1969 satire cult film "Oh, What a Lovely War"

I haven't seen that movie and am putting it on my list!

My absolute favorites of her rolls are in Harry Potter and Downton Abbey, but I was searching clips and came across this one I had to share:

Very sad, she was so classy. She would will be missed!

My mother fell in love with Downton Abbey based on seeing one episode on PBS while channel surfing and based on that one episode Mom wanted the whole Downton Abbey collection and so Dad and I got the whole Downton Abbey collection DVD for Mom for Mother's Day and she loved it but I had no idea Maggie Smith was in it until Mom told me. Isn't The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel series about a bunch of rich elderly people who travel to India and have different adventures at the hotel?. I also didn't spot Maggie Smith in that movie as well. Was she wonderful in those movies?
