I have admired Maggie Smith most of my life - ever since I first saw her in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.
I have loved her in every film and TV Show I have seen her in.
She has played so many different types of parts, so brilliantly.
I’m so sorry to hear of her death. I will miss her.

Even sadder is the fact that the press keeps referring to her as " known for Downton Abbey and the Harry Potter films" when her body of work is so much bigger and greater than that.

We went to the cinema to see ‘The Lady in the Van’ with Maggie Smith, and it was brilliant.
They just don’t make enough films like that. Although I’m not averse to a bit of sex and violence…

Yes, very emotional, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was based on a true story. Unfortunately it is a very realistic situation 
, it could happen.

Indeed, it was based on author Alan Bennett’s own experience, he wrote the short story about it. I have a CD of him reading it that I keep in the car.
