I am an 58 year old American woman and there has never been any actress like her. I loved "The Prime of Miss Jean Brody". Dame Judy Dench is amazing as well.

A legacy to treasure. Many thanks, Dame Maggie Smith, for your great example; she won two (2) oscars and many awards "without having to take her clothes off," as she said during an awarding ceremony.

[@Mrkhan3715-w6x]

May her soul rest in peace 😢😢

[@Annie4Always]

So very sad to hear of the passing of the most superb & beloved Actress, Dame Maggie Smith. May she Rest in Peace! She truly was a National & International Treasure! The best of the best! Especially as Lady Violet in the infamous Downton Abbey! Dame Maggie truly did steal every scene she was in with her amazing talent & phenomenal acting ability! A truly remarkable lady! She truly will be greatly missed & will never be forgotten! I did not realize that Toby Stephens, who portrayed Mr Rochester in the excellent BBC Series Jane Eyre was Maggie's son. That explains a lot! Toby was truly brilliant in that Role! The absolute best Mr Rochester ever & that's saying a lot. It is not surprising that he is Maggie's son, with such brilliant acting skills & such depth of character, revealed by the fact that they both owned the Roles & Characters they portrayed. Dame Maggie has left all of us with so many fond memories, as well as a truly lasting Legacy from her wonderful Life. Sending deepest Condolences to all of Dame Maggie's Family, Friends & all of her Admirers around the world at this sad time! Blessings to all! Thank you for sharing this wonderful Tribute!

What an amazing woman ❤
