Really, that feels sudden. I'm a big fan and think if the British film industry hadn't collapsed in the late sixties, she would have been a big star, on the level of Shirley MacLaine. Even so, she has a great filmography, even if many are not that well known. RIP.

Five greats from Maggie Smith.

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1969)
Travels With My Aunt (1972)
Love and Pain and the Whole Damn Thing (1973)
A Room With a View (1985)
The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne (1987).

And one we can agree to overlook.

Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (1993).

Though I see she was in Harry Potter, so she'll be remembered for that.

I'll rewatch Love and Pain in her honour.

doubtless she will be described as 'Harry Potter actor', despite a body of work spanning 8 decades :no

Harry Potter's Maggie Smith got an Oscar for Miss Jean Brodie and a supporting Oscar for California Suite (plus 4 others noms for non-Potter roles).

Plus tv/theatre. But I suppose HP gave her the widest profile.

I heard of her death, and I thought of you Arthur.

(I heard of her death because my 20 yo daughter texted me the news)

If that Dutch side had a centre forward, they would have dominated the decade. Neeskens was a clever, very cool player.

I remember a lot of them were big smokers...

Admittedly they were thumped by Scotland in '78.
