    She was absolutely lovely when she was younger. Not only that but she is incredibly talented. I believe she is one of those rare people (like Meryl Streep) who can play just about any role/any character. Just amazing!

    She’s honestly at Katharine Hepburn and Bette Davis level of greatness, with one of the best bodies of work of any actress ever. We’ve totally taken her for granted, I think we all just assumed she’d always be there 😭 I hope she never stops working. We’re lucky to still have her honestly.

    • @tomwheeler7386
      @tomwheeler7386 Před 2 lety +6

      Actually the "taken for granted" was intended by Maggie Smith herself. Maggie has always been private and been very reserved. She valued her anonymity because it meant to could go anywhere she wanted anytime she wanted. That was her gripe about Harry Potter and Downton Abbey. She said the fame totally changed her private life to the point where she couldn't go anywhere. Plus her first husband was also an actor and she said on more than one occasion that two theater actors should never marry because they would never have any life outside of the theater. Its that humility and reserve that has made Maggie so endeared over the decades. I love her reserve. She is a very succinct women..she says very little but what she says...its like each word is carefully chosen as if being written on a script. Oh, how I wish that I had that talent.

She remains my favourite actress for the past 50 yrs

      She made that show. The other actors are all wonderfully good in their own regard some of them certainly esteemed, but without her that show wouldn't have gotten a third of the ratings it did. Her character wasn't even that large, it's just how delicious and thrilling she was when you did see her.

  • @turloughgirl5535
    @turloughgirl5535 Před 3 lety +4

    My hero is Kenneth Williams, his diaries are my bibles. He regarded everyone he knew with a curious mix of love and contempt and he oscillated between loving and loathing his peers in equal measure. The only person he had unquestionable love for was 'Mags', he didn't just adore her but remained forever spellbound by her talent. I remember him talking of weeping after watching one of her performances it had such a profound effect upon him. Those that liken her to Streep diminish her. There is only one Maggie Smith, unrivalled and unsurpassed.

  • @slowpainful
    @slowpainful Před 4 lety +9

    Amazing! I'm old enough to remember Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (and "Travels with my Aunt", in which she does a Maggie Smith impersonation), so I haven't just experienced Maggie Smith as the eternal dowager, but to see her range - she is quite the chameleon, a kind of character actor but also a lead. Very much in the British tradition. The comparison to Meryl Streep is apt, but Ms Smith has a warmth that Streep lacks. A great lady and a great actor.
