“The lukewarm piss” made me laugh when I watched the movie “The Second Best Marigold Hotel” for the first time. I love tea, and just like her I never understood why so many first-class hotels and restaurants all over the world don’t know how to serve tea correctly.
Dame Margaret Natalie Smith, to all of us simply known as Maggie Smith will be missed. She died today, at the age of 89.
I adored and admired her in so many movies.
She is one of my favorite actresses! (Refusing to use past tense because she will continue to be one of my favorites).
Her voice, her facial expressions, she was a master of her craft. She drew me in, no matter if she played Muriel Donnely in “The Exotic Marigold Hotel” or if she surprised us all as Minerva McGonagall in “Harry Potter.” Just like fine wine, she got better and better with age. From drama to comedy, she did them all and I believe she was a class of her own.
My husband, who didn’t know her well, fell in love with her when she played Violet Crawley, The Dowager Countess of Grantham in Downton Abbey.
Generations of viewers will continue to fall in love with her, no doubt about it.
Wherever she is, or wanted to be after death, I hope there will be boiling water. 🙂
RIP Maggie Smith
…
She was/is a legend. RIP ❤️
One of a kind – she will be missed.
A great Actress 🖤🖤🖤
Yes, she was. She will be missed.
I know…
A fine tribute. I had a client who looked like her in her younger days. When we finished she gave me a print which I framed. I have always regretted that it was left behind when my French house was sold
Have no regrets. It was left behind because it wasn’t important enough then and perhaps looked perfect in the house. When it wasn’t important then, it shouldn’t be important now. It is what it is.
Actually I left much behind because the house was squatted in and I couldn’t face clearing it. All water under the bridge now.
She was a true gem, and a favorite. 🌺
Thank you, Kymber.
Great clip. I, too, loved Margaret Smith as Violet Crawley, The Dowager Countess of Grantham in Downton Abbey. 🙂
The way she explains the tea brewing concept to the poor guy, only she could do that. She was brilliant!
This is so sad, she will be dearly missed.
She lived to be 89 and she had a long life and a wonderful career. I don’t think we should be sad, I think we should smile when we look at her life. She will be missed!
True,
Yes, she will be missed by millions of people all over this world and many, not even born yet, will continue to love her.
She didn’t simply play the roles, she transformed them.
That’s such a great statement. Thank you!
🙂
This is sad news. I have loved her ever since I saw her in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. Her one liners in Downton Abbey were so well delivered. She will be missed but her movies will keep her alive.
She was one of a kinds, wasn’t she? What a life!
I remember Miss Jean Brodie too 🙂
She was an honest actor. You got the real performance every time from Maggie. Loved her in Best Marigold Hotel and Downton Abbey. She told it like it was. Not having her in the new season will be sad. Have a good Friday Bridget. Allan
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is full of wonderful, older actors and actresses and they all give a great performance. One of my go-to movies when I don’t feel well and need a cheer up.
Everything will be alright in the end so if it is not alright it is not the end.
That made me smile
Superb! RIP indeed.
Yes, she was superb.
Quite the icon! RIP Maggie 🙏
“Icon” yes that fits. I am glad you mentioned it.
She is an amazing actress, I love her in everything she played, rest in peace, lovely lady. 🙏🏻🇬🇧❤️😭
Me too. Whenever she took on a part, you knew it would be a good movie.
I have never seen Downton Abbey/Abby but her performance in the HP series was great. Now I want to see Downton Abby.
I didn’t think we would like it, but it’s a great TV series. Winter is coming, that’s a good time to binge watch it
