Great actress. May her soul Rest in Peace 🙏
She was also the second Nanny McPhee movie.
She was hilarious in Downton Abbey. I loved her acting. Rest in power, Dame Maggie!!!
Best one liners
My wife and I just watched the latest Downton Abbey movie last night. One of the final scenes was the funeral of her character. It seems so strange hearing this today.
What is a weekend
@@cindypierce3600 I read your comment and thought It was a typo - then suddenly I got it.
@@estellesilva1404 The timing of her lines. And, her expressions. 🌹
I'm so sad 😞 Nobody could of played Professor McGonagall any better!
Nobody should have played any harry potter characters considering the person who created them is EVIL. FJKR
@@luis-alberto.no, she isn’t and it has nothing to do with Harry Potter, nor with this. FU
Nobody!
The only actress that suits the character of Minerva
@@ilkinmustafayev Blud is scared of changing genders 🤡🤡 🏳🌈🏳⚧❤
Let's not forget she played Wendy Darling in Hook with Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman.
And her character in downton abbey she was hilarious in that role. Such a talent, had such range and charisma
I was thinking of that movie too!
Interesting fact: the Arabic word "ma'rakh" (مئرخ) means "a place with historical ambience". Learn Arabic good-wise!
That was my first introduction to beautiful Maggie Smith.
Something I think she maybe wanted forgotten, as did Robin and Mr Hoffman
89, well lived, rest in heaven❤
The ‘creme de la creme’. RIP Maggie❤
I met Maggie Smith by accident one afternoon in 1977 while purchasing tickets for Julius Caesar, in which she played, at the Shakespeare Festival Theater in Stratford, Ontario. I absently left my sunglasses at the box office counter and was on my way out and halfway down the large lobby when the theater doors burst open with Maggie leading an entourage of young women to the same ticket counter. The person behind the counter must have mentioned that I had forgotten to pickup my glasses and rather than shouting across the room Maggie quickly snapped them up and walked the length of the hall to hand them to me. It was only then that I recognized her, and graciously thanked her, thinking she could have at the most just handed them to one of her followers to do that. A small effort on Maggie’s part that made me a lifelong fan.
That is class❤Rip Dame Maggie🎉
What a treasured memory! ❤
U
Classy lady Maggie Smith !
What a beautiful memory you have of her
Thanks for sharing it with us
I’m so grateful they included a proper dying scene at the end of Downton Abbey: A New Era, so that she could bow out in the most splendid dramatic and elegant fashion!
I was thinking the same thing! It was perfect! Now looking at it again it would be with a different feeling!
I just bawled and bawled 😢
Saddens my heart! She just can’t not be here like Betty White! Such an outstanding actress and forever the matriarch of Downton Abbey!
Great ones passing and not being replaced - the world is not as joyous as it use to be.
I think these two great ladies are sipping tea & trading brilliant quips, thoroughly enjoying trading memories if amazing careers without the constraints of aged bodies! Both are lived & missed!
@@maryroberts589 - What a wonderful image! ❤
“After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.” - Dumbledore, Rest in Peace Professor McGonagall
"Piertotum Locomotor! Hogwarts is threatened! Man the boundaries, protect us, do your duty to our school! I've always wanted to use that spell." (Minerva McGonagall, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2)
Exactly
🪄💖
It gives me the feeling like when the Queen died😥
Yes, I agree with you. Doesn’t seem real and unexpected 😔
@@pamelaenglish7159 She was 89. That's a good run most of us could only wish for.
@@jm7804 Yes I realise that but it is still devastating and sad even at 89 years of age. I wasn’t thinking about her age, she was an amazing talent. She will be missed.
@@jm7804 My grandfather died at 94 but even then, you still wish some people could live forever.
@Revdrwilliam, yes. This one hurts.
I remember her first as a Shakesperian actress. But I loved her as the matron in Downton Abby.
Oh, dear I am heartbroken. What an actress and remarkable person. Bless her and may she rest in peace. 😢
Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
Yep, the Marigold Hotel. Kind of forgot.
Hogwarts forever!!
🪄 ✨️
R.I.P to the great actress
who killed her?
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie was my introduction to this very fine actress! R.I.P.
Likewise - and coming from Edinburgh it’s all the more personal for me.
@@djslybaconShe left Edinburgh a long time ago but she was truly one of our greats.
So wonderful.
@@jonathanlandau-litewski7405 not that. Miss Jean Brodie is set in Edinburgh and the accent too!
@@djslybacon I know, I'm from and remain in Edinburgh too!
Reunited with Dumbledore, Mrs. McGonagall
And Snape and Hagrid
The woman who played Draco's mom is also dead in real life. I forgot her name.
You don't even have to be a fan to understand she was a legend.
Condolences.. My first impactful character"Miss Jean Brodie." Such a great character by a great great actress.
Oh no! Pure class and extreme brilliance. 💔 will miss you…
Loved her as a kid. She was truly amazing for the roles she played in. May she rest in peace 🕊️💔
She had such an impact on the childhood of so many, from Harry Potter to Hook. May she rest in peace.
🪄✨️😭
Rest in Peace, beloved Lady! You gave much enjoyment to many people,who loved you dearly!Thank you!✝️🌺❤️🙏🏾🇨🇦
Blessed be her memory! She will be missed tremendously! What an awesome actress!😢😢😢😢
RIP Dame Maggie Smith.💔🙏🏻💐
You were a true legend, one of the finest actors I've ever known. Harry Potter series will always be closest to my heart, and you were an integral part it. And Dowager Countess's one liners in Downtown Abbey changed my whole perspective about life. You'll be sorely missed. Love from India.😊❣️
The world is a less funny place. She will be missed for sure. Very sad.
I loved Maggie smith saw every movie she ever made…..her voice was so beautiful……..❤❤❤🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Legend is too light a word for her. RIP Dame Maggie

Maggie Smith was appreciated and loved around the world. She was the queen of acting. What a loss. Heartfelt condolences to her family. She will be missed.
Loved Miss Jean Brodie. Rest in peace, lovely Lady. 🌹 ❤🙏🏽
RIP Maggie Smith. She will forever be remembered for films like Othello, Death on the Nile (1978), Clash of the Titans (1981), Steven Spielberg’s Hook as old Wendy Darling, and of course the Harry Potter franchise as Professor McGonagall. We will miss her dearly.
She died exactly a year after Michael Gambon did
Wow! 😢
Harry Potters fans will be raising their wands tonight in remembrance of professor M.
Dont forget the best marigold hotel😊
Great actress with a good sense of humor.
I’m crushed.
고인의 명복을 빕니다
Love this woman....GREAT actress 😢
Man why do they pass away with in paris? James Earl jones now her? So sad may they both rest in peace.
???
What?
@@Pete-the-great1964 I don't think he/she meant the city Paris. Since none of them died in Paris (lol, sorry)
Maybe the commentor meant "in pairs"?
She passed away in London, not Paris.
Loved Maggie Smith ! What a delight she was
A wonderful actor... who will be terribly missed.
RIP Maggie
I loved her she was perfect in everything she did. I will miss her. Condolences to her family and friends ❤

Started 4x
Farewell to one of the greatest British actresses of her generation. I'll remember her for Hook, Clash Of The Titans and The Secret Garden. But most of all, I will remember her as Professor McGonnagall from Harry Potter. She's been reunited with Hagrid, Serious Black, Lupin, Dobby, Snape and Dumbledore. Thank you for the memories and there will never be another Dame Maggie Smith. ❤🥺🪄
I didn't start watching the Harry Potter films until last year and I'm glad that I did before Maggie died.
May she rest in peace.
Let us raise our wands
