I join the chorus of people here....I am in awe of Maggie Smith's talent and personality. She becomes more beautiful with time. I laughed myself to tears with her"Sydney, I've got a hump" California Suite and was moved to tears by her empathy in "Ladies in Lavender" with wonderful Judi Dench as was glorious Diana Rigg. AND....Maggie gave us a brilliant actor in her son Toby Stephens. How extraordinary is that. A mother and a son...... transcendental actors. Thank you for this posting.
I know it's rather corny to say, but in my opinion Maggie Smith is the best actress of her generation. Her acting abilities are just so fantastic and as a person, too, she's so endearingly nice.
Brilliant! I had the good fortune of seing her perform at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in Stratford, Ontario during the 76-80 season along side William Hutt, Brian Bedford under the direction of the then wonderkind, Robin Phillips. Her comedic talent and sense of timing is incredible. We knew we're in the presence of greatness. What a treat!
I adore Maggie Smith with every ounce of my being. I think she is an outstanding actress, incredibly funny and modest. And I want to punch Charlie Rose in the face because he is irritating the s*** out of me in this interview.
I don't know if her part in "Gosford Park" was mean to be funny but she crack me up because she'd so stuck up (the character, not Maggie). "Oh, but none of us will see it" :)
Maggie Smith is awesome. I think she is a tough, British lady. She will get over this cancer and go on to give more amazing performances. I wish her all the best!
Maggie Smith is a true Lady! She is a fantastic actress with two wonderful sons, especically Toby Stephens (I'm a big fan of him!)! She must be very proud of her family and of her long successfully career!
The story about Olivier is true, but it was MAGGIE SMITH who went back stage to see him after a performance. That is HER story. Bless her for having the class to not say anything and save him the embarrassment. What a sophisticated woman. He didn't even point out that she spent 5 years at the Stratford Festival and performed in more Shakespeare plays than Judi Dench, even though she says she's not a Shakespearean actress. She OWNS Desdemona, Beatrice from Much Ado.
Maggie Smith is a true actress which is hardly to emitate unless you are in the leage of Betty Davis, Crawford, etc. Maggie's robs every scene in a movie with little effort -- That simple.
I loved that :) You're all right, he can be irritating. I like when he talks about "the humanizing side of maggie smith" and she said "i didn't realize i was inhuman" :)
She is a great actress and can do both drama and comedy with ultimate ease! Anyone who wishes to act (and I admit, I am one of those people) should watch some of her movies, and take notes. From Jean Brodie, to Sister Act, to Harry Potter; she has done it all!

Maggie Smith has cancer??? :( NOOOOO! I wish she recovers and lives to be 100! Such a great actress... I loved her in Clash of the Titans!
wyldchyld76 3 years ago 2
Yeah.. breast cancer. She got the tumor removed and postponed Harry Potter Half Blood Prince, until she recovers.
I think she will be fine. She doesn't want much publicity on it. It's her life ya know?

Maggie Smith is wonderful, remarkably humble and down to earth.
Charlie Rose flubbed this one. He was trying to present his Maggie. She actually looked like she was getting fed up with him at times.
