Maggie Smith wins 1990 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play

[@Peter-z9t]

RIP Dame Maggie Smith, September 27, 2024. Always remembered as one of the most versatile and greatest.

I will never forget seeing Maggie Smith, Jeremy Brett, Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn starring in a production of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at the Stratford Shakespearean Festival in beautiful Stratford, Ontario, Canada. I was so mesmerized by their performances, that I went back and saw the production four more times. ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️

My God. What a theatrical experience! 😮

[@Ronizetti]

Saw both the play and Dame Maggie win this award - I have always said watching her performance in Lettice & Lovage was the single greatest night I have EVER spent in the theatre!! She was magnificent - that this show does not exist in either audio or video is a travesty

I saw this play back in London in 1987. I so loved it, and the next day walking down the Haymarket looking for a matinee because I had some time, who did I see but Margaret Tyzack also looking for a matinee. I never approach celebrities but how could I not this time? She was so charming, so kind....I love both of these women.

There is a videorecording of the show. But its use it is restricted for specific users (imagine that you are wrting a book about Peter Shaffer for example) Many shows are taped for the NY Public library using a single camera and with no credits. So if you ask for permission and you are lucky maybe you can watch this wonderful play www.nypl.org/about/divisions/theatre-film-and-tape-archive

I saw the play as well. Maggie and Margaret were wonderful!

[@cakehole53]

I saw it too, and would agree with you - UNTIL I saw Diana Rigg as Medea. Unforgettable.

[@Smenkhkare]

I saw her too, on Bway. As the old cliche goes, I laughed so hard I nearly started crying. She was superb.

[@Smenkhkare]

I saw Dame Maggie in Lettice and Lovage on Broadway. One of the greatest theatrical experiences I've ever had. She was incredible.

[@ramonpurugganan6865]

I love Maggie Smith. For me , no film of her is bad. I always love her acting.

[@gabrielc468]

[@sourojeet]

RIP Dame Maggie Smith. Truly an icon!

[@bman560]

One of those nights in the theater that you walked out invigorated after watching her, Margaret Tyzack and Paxton Whitehead. You didn't want it to end.

[@PrachiNadk]

Wonderful actress!

[@onirannam]

Quite a line up of nominees. Congrats to them all both still living and those who have left the stage.

[@drewcruz5879]

Rest in Peace to you Ms.Maggie🙏

"I know it's out of fashion and we're not meant to do that." - Now, thanks to your post of Tyne Daly's speech, I know what this line refers to. :)

[@RenanCMaia]

Jessica and Maggie together!

Lettuce & lovage was magnificent.

I saw this play in London in 1988. I remember seeing it but I couldn't tell you one thing about it.

[@jonldn]

The Comic Sans of its day!

[@steveweinstein3222]

I saw Merchant of Venice and Prelude to a Kiss, not Smith's play, alas.

[@Sinclair80]

They all look terrified!

[@joeburinskas8672]

Maggie towers over Jessica Tandy. She must be tiny.

[@dlxmarks]

1:04 I don't see one towering over the other.
