Surely one the best interviews she ever gave (which is a tribute to Barry Norman). Beneath that cool and poised exterior, there was great intelligence, vulnerability and a fierceness, that gave intensity and precision to whatever she did as an actor. Rest in Peace Mags.
One of the truly great actresses and human beings of all time. Thank you for all the joy you brought to us and generations to come! RIP wonderful Dame Maggie Smith ❤
I’ve always felt a strange safety with older women who suffered no fools. My first violin teacher who I met at 5 was that way, and one of my last (Sylvia Rosenberg) was that way, smoking from a cigarette holder and demolishing her students at 87. Maggie Smith’s passing has hit me surprisingly hard. I wish her family well.
She is a great actor. I love she's not entirely friendly; very guarded and aloof. However, she does share herself here. Marvellously so. Brava, Dame Maggie. I'd hate to be on the wrong side of her.
We were very fortunate to have had Maggie Smith's great talent at The Stratford Festival for a couple of years. I saw her in a number of Shakespearean works and enjoyed her comedic genius, drama and impeccable timing at delivering a line. She is a treasure.
She is so lovely here. This is probably the best interview I've ever seen her give. She seemed quite relaxed. She didn't need to worry about work. Because she is so good, she will work for as long as she wishes.
I wish she could have had less anxiety in knowing that most all her performances were flawless or least far better than anyone else could have done. RIP 😘
Dame Maggie and her final question in this 1993 interview: What will the future hold for your career? ...Should have been answered with, "The queen Bee of a couple major film and television franchises ....?" 'insert smirk'
Such a nice interview, as someone who's performed on stage and a little tv, I agree it's mortifying to watch yourself back! We are our own worst critics. Even A-listers like Johnny Depp don't watch themselves back. It's because we look and sound different to how we think. Amazing to think some of her best work was still to come, Downton Abbey, Harry Potter, The Lady in the Van etc Awesome actress, I can watch her in anything. She just commands attention.
Superb transgenders... hence why they've been afforded their accolades for deceiving the public and all complicit in the BBC pederast, paedophile and child trafficking ring.
My favorite Maggie part is her Desdemona in the Olivier Othello. She is innocent, vulnerable and adoring of her unworthy husband, as well as possessing just a hint of astringency that prevents the role from cloying (as it so often does with lesser actresses) and keeps us firmly on her side rather than getting impatient with the character's naïveté. I would have loved to see her tackle Goneril, or Masha in Three Sisters. In her twenties, she'd have been the ideal Katya in Ostrovsky's The Storm.
Maggie Smith hat eine natürlich aussergewöhnliche Stimme, in der Spannbreite vom Coloratur-Sopran bis zum Barriton. Wunderfull! Klassische Literatur-Hörbücher würden sogar für unsere Jugend Interessant zu hören, allein durch die Stimm-Variationen der großartigen Maggie Smith.
Maggie is a stage actress through and through, exceptionally gifted with timing and during her performances possess a whirlwind of energy and ability to inhabit her entire role hence her fantastic movies Her lack of confidence over herself, I believe came via critics with a vicious tongue who should have used constructive not destructive criticism, therefore, they as critics were not suitable to their roles. Many great performers, suffer or have suffered from the same thing critics trying to destroy them before they have had the chance to prove themselves.
Ah, Tuesday - during the prep, Sir Richard was on the search for uniforms. Joan Plowright was annoyed when I found them, serendipitously, so he had me thanked, the greenest of 14 year old cadets, taking the salute from the cast as they headed from the Theatre Royal Stratford to Clapham Common, to join the London-Brighton Veteran Car Rally. It was only much later that I realised the message actually went the other way, that the kids who die are the young, then as now.
A wonderful actor who’s had many roles on film and in the theater. She was marvelous in the movie “Tea with Mussolini” a movie about a bunch of elderly English ladies in Italy before World War Two. While Maggie Smith has been fairly well-known in Britain, I do think she’s always been a bit anonymous to the masses. Not so anymore. The roles as Professor McGonagall and the Dowager Lady Grantham has brought her a unique generational super stardom.
The only actress I know apart from Judy Dench that hasn't filled their faces with a tone of botox and fillers or had a face lift. Goes to show being a great actress takes more than ones looks. Those girls are living proof.

Film 19?? with Barry Norman was such a great show. He had real passion about the movies and a great interviewer. The show was never the same after he left and, it’s final incarnation was just a ghastly BBC woke fest, obsessed with gender and diversity, rather than concentrating on actual talent and merit. Same with any film review programme on the bbc these days.
We were VERY lucky to have Mr Norman as our guide to the world of Film. Very even handed in his critique, hugely knowledgeable about the form. And as you say (and we all saw) a very adept interviewer!
The most amazing and naughty lady ever - except maybe jude - who's even naughtier - or maybe Helen who's just filthy.....x But, there is nothing like a Dame or Dame's
Do you mean Judi Densch and Helen Mirren???? If so, I had no idea. It would lessen my respect for either if so. Being filthy is unnecessary; there are better ways to communicate without resorting to that. It would make me wonder what they are trying to prove.
Maggie smith is one of my favorite actors . but please, Maggie, be honest ! the hollywood trash you do for the big bucks and the other work is for love of the script or just to stay active . It is very rare in the entertainment business for workers like actors to tell it like it is . It would be refreshing if for once i could watch a video and an actor honestly say i took that part for the money . i would have the deepest admiration for him or her . I think James Mason once hinted as much but really can't remember

He's a nice interviewer engaged and not sycophantic or overbearing .
One of the truly great actresses and human beings of all time. Thank you for all the joy you brought to us and generations to come! RIP wonderful Dame Maggie Smith ❤
Maggie Smith was like QEII for me in a way, cinematically speaking. She was always there in everything I saw growing up. She was awesome in Hook!
Except, hopefully she wasn’t a blood drinking reptilian 🦎. 😢😢😢
Whatever Maggie Smith does, she is a star. Long may she continue.
What a delighful interview!
To be in your prime 30, 40, 50+ years after beginning your vocation speaks volumes of one's skill and talent!

Who wouldn’t love this woman, she will be missed…

one of the best actors ever, my life was better because of her ! Thank you Maggie, love you
i love her. so gifted and straightalking. truly miss Barry Norman
Dear Mr. Chekhov bit was hilarious. Ah, Dame Maggie Smith, we will always, always love you.
"Precarious" - even after an Oscar, you're only as good as your next gig! And now we know what great things awaited her since this interview.
She’s mesmerising and that hairstyle is stunning. What a woman she was.
RIP Dame Maggie Smith.
She is so lovely here. This is probably the best interview I've ever seen her give. She seemed quite relaxed. She didn't need to worry about work. Because she is so good, she will work for as long as she wishes.
Her hair looks particularly lovely.
Travels With My Aunt, Gosford Park, A Room With A View, Death On The Nile, A Private Function . . . so much versatility.
I wish she could have had less anxiety in knowing that most all her performances were flawless or least far better than anyone else could have done. RIP 😘
Thank You !

Neither of which are her best work. She deserved better than sub par schlock. It's a great pity less people can tell the difference nowadays.
You’d have more credibility has an arbiter of culture if your grammar were better… “less people” indeed
Stories about this great lady never fail to make me smile....
She has that Je ne sais quoi She acts with her face whether on camera or
Stage. One of a kind and always
In Her Prime. 🦄♥️
Rest in peace to one of the greats
She has marvellous hair. X
Jaja le miraba el cabello jaja
Wonderfully thick even now in her 80s.
Voila.....my Jean Brodie. She is spectacular.
Dame Maggie Smith is superlative!
One beautiful, classy woman.

Tears of Gratitude
She seems like the polar opposite of her characters. Instead of uptight and sassy, she comes off as down to earth and shy.
❤❤❤❤❤

She was never that anonymous internationally. She won two Oscars, in 1970 and 1979.
A gem
The future was Harry Potter, which garnered her a lot of new young fans, a testament to her briliance.
Maggie Smith with Harry Potter and Downton abbey under her belt, she has become a legend. One of the absolute best.
How did I completely forget Maggie Smith was in Sister act?!
❤❤❤❤❤
Global Treasure!!! ❤
That voice!
She was and always be irreplaceable.
Maggie Smith, legend. 🏆
Thanks!
Little does she know a place called Downton and more corsets are in her future…!

I miss Barry Norman. I loved his film program. It was all downhill when Jonathan Ross took over - no class.
Yes, he was such a class act and I doubt that anyone could fill his shoes.
