Dame Maggie Smith's Final Interview with Kathleen Turner (FULL EVENT) | FANE

Sometimes the algorithm just delivers a gem

I was took here without knowing why! Sometimes the algorithms do us more than well

[@joshdrayton1230]

Anyone who ever interviews a serious actor / star should watch this interview. Brandreth knows both their careers better than they do, he knows just the questions to ask, and he doesn't insert himself into the discussion unless he has something genuinely interesting or witty to add. Result: they both respect him, trust him and are therefore more relaxed and forthcoming.

[@richardnz55]

You're totally correct. Thanks for saying.

[@billhaydon8361]

Fully agree. A brilliant interview.

[@ProfessorTimWilson]

absolutely

[@saram2503]

I love the way that Dame M is so interested and focused on what Kathleen Turner says. So down to earth, grounded and also modest. What a wonderful woman, wonderful actress, great, great talent. Witty, charming. People say ‘Legend’ a great deal. But she was. Already greatly, greatly missed. The world is a poorer place without her precious soul.

[@RobMathMiller]

So well said and so true!

[@OACDYCSF]

I couldn't agree more.

[@elainethomas3747]

Me too.

[@alexandreleite2541]

People like Dame MS should live until 190 years or more. Such a gifted Actress.❤

Dame Maggie Smith was always a delight to watch. She will be missed.

I'm ready to subscribe to Netflix again just to be able to watch and rewatch lovely Maggie Smith in Downton Abbey!

[@Richie8a8y]

“Can I borrow your barrier?” “Can we have dinner?” What an introduction! Thank You Giles Brandriff for leading this marvelous interview in your oh so genial way. Quite the trifecta.

Thank you for posting this, who would have thought they would be friends! I wish he would of asked how they both felt about Eileen Atkins. She and turner hated each other.

A masterclass on interviewing. Two very opposite beautiful friends and a superb interviewer.

[@principeturandot4593]

What a wonderful, respectful, relaxed, and honest interview this is! Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us. I'm still processing Maggie Smith's passing as she was one of those fixtures in our lives that made it seem she'd outlive each of us. I can't tell you what a pleasure it is to listen to each of you pay such attention to one another sharing. Brilliant. 💌

[@richardnz55]

Beautifully said thank you.

[@tracys9222]

Just wonderful agree great interview, I loved Kathleen’s lovely words to Dame Maggie she was so visibly moved by them.

[@blanchefan]

You're so right; I felt the same!

[@Dylangriffiths-tj7jk]

@@tracys9222 it brought tears to my eyes when Kathleen said those lovely words to Dame Maggie Smith she was so touched .

[@2legit64]

What a delightful and unexpected interview. One of the things that I absolutely love about Dame Maggie is how graceful her hands are. She had the ability to speak volumes with just her hands.

[@maudeboggins9834]

Ms. Turner had a very very interesting & educational upbringing. Saw the world & heard different languages & observed different cultures.

[@rturney6376]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@janicewilliams966]

Two absolute legends! What a wonderful friendship they shared. Thank you so much for this beautiful interview. Well Done!

[@nathanhill1193]

Many are questioning whether this was truly Dame Maggie's final interview, but she was always known for giving few interviews and being intensely private. Also, the description clearly states it’s from 2021. Instead of debating it, simply appreciate this masterclass in interviewing. We rarely had the chance to know her beyond the screen or stage.

[@Geblues10]

That was absolutely brilliant. I do love Gyles and Maggie of course. I would never have thought of Maggie and Kathleen having such a connection. They say opposites attract.

[@josephvitaliano3226]

Thank you for sharing this interview with these two marvelous ladies... Much Love, Kathleen Turner and Rest In Peace, Dame Maggie Smith...

[@rturney6376]

Kathleen must really miss her 😢😢😢😢😢

[@elainethomas3747]

Such a wonderful and interesting conversation and deeply touching. Brings tears. And chapeau to Gyles Brandreth for the tact and sensitivity of the way he draws out these two remarkable artists.

[@Dylangriffiths-tj7jk]

Thank you Gyles , Maggie & Kathleen this was absolutely amazing. ❤️❤️

[@Sharon-w9q]

This was just wonderful. The knowledge in this room about acting and performing is incredible.

[@anastasiabeaverhausen8220]

Another friend that Dame Maggie made back in NYC in the '50s was also a mutual friend of Julie Andrews and that was the actress Alice Ghostly (who was so hilarious in the sitcom "Designing Women") and that is how she came to be the one to accept Maggie's Best Actress Oscar for her.

[@Joelsellers29]

Loved Bernice! So hilarious!

[@rturney6376]

[@rturney6376]

[@aflutteroffeminineconfusio1986]

What makes her loss so much more profound is how well she looks / is...body,mind,soul and essence so complete. I'm not sure what happened, but she is so full of life here..just hurts more as I feel Maggie had so much more to give 😢

[@markdaly1648]

She was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 74. It might have returned.

[@morganborthwick9812]

She was clearly very unwell for the last year - I knew when she didn’t come to Wimbledon this year or show up for anything with the Miracle Club. Aside from the Loewe photo shoot her last public appearance was at the Coronation and she looked over it poor thing

[@ktwashere5637]

I live in London and remember what KT was doing the Graduate. People were so excited that she was here. I'm surprised they didn't have to shut down the entire street to manage the throngs of people. I saw her a few years later in Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf and she was magnificent. Not all film/tv actors can manage stage. But she could. I'd love to see her again.

Never seen Gyles speak so little , he clearly respects them both a lot. For those who don't know him, he's an interesting person in himself and broke records for speeches. He can talk to an almost athletic degree 😅

[@emmahart7500]

A lovely interview, both incredible women, I’m not sure Maggie has really enjoyed her career, she has an underlying sadness, I thought.

[@Meggie951]

Her career was very long and demanding, during those over 60 years for sure she had her ooos and downs. She had very strong mentality and even when she was contradicting herself she wasn’t very hard on herself, with such a big expectations from industry and people, deep down she probably was which is not easy to handle. Being on the set sometimes she was „ dropping”her ( very high) acting skills to help other actors to get the scene right which I found very tactful. Plus people during old age can be much more melancholic. For sure she was a true Dame in her profession. May she rest in peace 🙏🏻🫶🏻

Don't ask me what its actual composition was, but size was applied to scenery as a fire retardant. Theatre's then were terrible death-traps all manner of electrics for the sever lighting.

Watch Kathleen Turner’s expression at 19:55, at the mention of Eileen Atkins. In her memoir, Turner recounts, during a period of poor health, how Atkins would purposely grab at Turner’s painful arms and hands with the intention of hurting her. She didn’t like Atkins at all.

[@MasterDelon-c1z]

During this run, Turner was missing a lot of performances for health reasons. Dame Eileen Atkins called her " a wonderful nightmare."

[@Carcass04]

so enjoying this but towards the end felt giles was a bit dismissive of Kathleen and maggie was (rightly) horrified ...lovely actresses so much work and experiences to retell x what's not to like also remember watching maggies desdemona at school film club and everyone being shocked at the black handmark on her face! there was a lovely interview with joan plowright where she says how difficult her husband (laurence olivier) could be and how he did hit maggie and they were shocked and very supportive of her
