RIP Dame Maggie. Peaceful death at 89 September 27 2024 ‘We shall not see her like again’ .

[@paulflyte520]

"Mr. Bennett, hold my hand. It's clean." This line really made me cry.

[@imamaniim88]

Me either made me cry so badly

[@analuzpena1]

My tears were everywhere in this scene.

[@TrangPhan-vq1ux]

Me too.

[@hudsonporter6065]

I guess I am kinda off topic but do anyone know a good website to watch newly released series online ?

[@xzavierdean7822]

@Hudson Porter Meh try flixportal. You can find it through google:) -xzavier

[@katerinadicamella]

This movie probably will not appreciated by mainstream viewer but personally I just love it so much. Sad, haunting, living, independent, funny and friendship. Isn't conventional but what a story!!

[@susancalne7774]

I lived near ALAN Bennett’s home in the 1960’s Johnathan Miller lived close by .They had both been students in Beyond the Fringe , a Satirical show that had taken The Edinburg Festival by STORM. I remember walking past Alan’s home seeing them both ROARING with laughter . CAMDEN town in the 1960’!! Rockers, authors, movie stars!

[@deniseking2541]

Those were the days! I never ran into Maggie but plenty of others around… 😄🍷

[@federicoplorutti5519]

Maggie Smith is a wonderful actress, I saw her in many films, she is magnificent.

[@janetmcarthur8847]

Maggie Smith manages to be so ordinary and extraordinary at the same time. Thankfully, there doesn't seem to be too much of the luvvy about her. Some very lovely people on that platform. I read the book a couple of months ago before I knew about the film and I can't wait to see it.

[@haleybellereynolds]

I've made it my mission in life to give Maggie Smith a hug before I die.

[@mrscpc1918]

I feel the same about Alan Bennett. The nearest I’ve got is watching him and Rupert choose a yard brush from the iron mongers in Settle.

[@Steampunksaly]

That’s seriously creepy

[@cuentarecuperada8547]

Personally, I don't think both Maggie Smith and Alan Bennett have much longer to live, I think 1 or 2 years at most.

[@katerinadicamella]

Mr Bennett thank you for sharing this story with us! Dame Smith, thank you for putting a masterful display of the role!!

[@MsRmreed]

Loved it..Maggie Smith has got to get many Oscars for the film!!

[@Dawny211]

wow..just amazing ❤ Maggie, Alan and the actor Alex

[@Mandy7D7]

I think it's sweet how Alan feels he barely did a thing for Miss Shephard. Watching over her on the street, taking her onto his property (giving her electricity and an address) was not the right thing to do at all. It's simply THE thing to do. We could use more people like that. He's a kind man who did an amazing deed when he did not have to do so.

@@jacquelyncorbin8116 How many homeless people have you taken in lately? Do tell.

[@MarieTasha]

Alex Jennings is a fantastic actor. I have seen this movie many times and does Alan so wonderfully. Maggie Smith is a joy to watch. Alex should be praised for his performance to and not just Maggie.

[@jessiejames7492]

i watched this film so many times.. Bennett and maggie smith.. fantastic to watch

[@iolandaribeiro1108]

I loved this movie. It was a pleasure to watch. I love English movies.

[@chevychase]

Brilliant movie. Nicholas Hytner is a genius, as are Bennett, Smith and others associated with this film.

[@stevesandford8993]

Maggie Smith "I just kept thinking about HER..." xx SF

[@msrainbowbrite]

Alan Bennett has so much more tolerance than i have. I'd have called for assistance long before he did

[@miamiqbangrl]

I saw the movie, its absolutely amazing

[@Mandy7D7]

I've watched this movie about oh...200 times now and it's as powerful and funny and amazing as the first time. I adore this movie, all of the characters and of course the way Alex and Maggie carries this...it's a movie everyone should see.

[@PK-yf3hd]

Alex played him as a pantomime dame,an old mother Riley .wretched semi comic misrepresentation

[@cuentarecuperada8547]

excellent film, great that they are both still alive, although I honestly think that for both Maggie Smith and Alan Bennett I don't think they have much longer to live, 1 or 2 years at most.

[@xplaybwoix]

Damn

[@cuentarecuperada8547]

RIP Maggie Smith, my next prediction Alan Bennett will died next year at 91 years.

[@molliepepper6881]

How can they have spelt Alan's name wrong on the name plates? How insulting! It's BENNETT.

[@midsummernight2009]

supernumery no! London film festival

[@Steampunksaly]

As in Gordon?

[@chaotin.]

So nice Lady Dame Maggie 💒

[@chauvaye]

le film super MADAME VOUS ETES MAGNIFIQUE MERCI A VOUS

[@GAMELAUNDRY]

I feel sorry for her living in a van. Alan was kind to help her, no doubt about that.

[@alisonsarahcarroll6063]

amazing movie

[@tahenare8746]

I first saw her in "The Prime of Jean Brodie" The movie was panned badly & she was done over by association. But she was the consummate expert. I hated the reviews but loved her acting

[@brianrodney5202]

I would have like to have asked Alan Bennett if any of his plays have been produced at the West Yorkshire Playhouse in his hometown of Leeds. He did once say that , when he was growing up there, he always felt that he was living life on the side-lines.

[@andjelatatarovic8309]

... they misspelled his name on the card :O (Alan Bennett is his name right?)

[@indigolatte444]

I'm tired but don't want to go to bed so I'm going to watch random shit lol

[@bmccarthy3333]

Who left off the 2nd "T" in Mr. Bennett's name on his placard?

[@maureenrhysjones4643]

Tehe!

[@amyclarke41]

Yeah ☺

[@williamwaynflete6336]

Carol Sloane, Who is "Michael Bennett"??

[@jimbob1054]

It was like he was trying to learn Arabic 🤣🤣

[@sianwarwick633]

Alan 'Bennett'

[@slocol537]

Has anyone noticed that Michael Bennett's name is misspelled on his identity card?

[@HHHKingofKings58]

+Carol Sloane At least they didn't call him Michael

[@guineamaniac678]

+HHHKingofKings58 hahahaha

[@Nounismisation]

My God, you've got Alan Bennett and friends there, ready to answer questions, and that guy on the left comes out with that ...waste.

[@reitamills5880]

Judy dench in mr and mrs edgton

[@tamerfilly]

This is NOT the real story of Sheila ... I was a child when Sheila moved her camper van down the lane , in a place called Smugglers lane in Upper Beeding near Steyning East Sussex ... Sheila was a recluse , who lived down a lane just by our house. When she first arrived she had no water , no electric and no sanitation, she would often bang on our families home door asking for fresh water... I got to know Sheila, who was a shy , but firm educated lady who always asked me to go to the shops for here to get her biscuits. Sheila wore the same cloths and same head scarf and become well known in the village because of her dress sense . He old mac was old , her dress peeped from the bottom of her coat and she wore wellington boots all the time ... She would not be seen very much out side her broken down van, because of rumour of her being mad , more because of the way she lived... The real Sheila , was raped , beaten and had her money stolen by local gypsies as well other idiots who were more afraid of her than anything else .... Every time I used to walk by her camper van , I would call out to her and she always replied back " Is that you Kathy " I would reply back yes , do you want me to go to the shops for you .... :) Sometimes she would come out and other times an hand with more or less the correct change ... The winters were very hard for her down the lane , and not as stated here on a DRIVE ..... There was no drive , she was moved on from a farm she managed to drive down the lane and broke down and thats were she stayed for many many years ... My family was very well known by Sheila , especially my Mum and brothers along with many locals .... What a sad ending to a beautiful free spirited lady , as that is what she really was , who had a wonderful smile, not seen by many as she would scurry along her way and didnt much take time to speak to people , but she she loved kids :) as much as they taunted her ... R I P MY dear lady , as I always wondered what happened to you xxx Show less

[@MsMesem]

Obviously there are many similar stories to those of 'the lady in the van'.

[@Kiwi-Macca]

Kathy if you look into this story it's the true story of Mary Shepherd who lived in a van outside Alan Bennett's house in London. He's in this video talking about it. Similar, but a different story.

[@maureenwhaley5327]

Kathy KEMBERY w

[@HectorVRuiz481]

Very interesting?

[@indigolatte444]

You seem to be confused lol

[@gordygibson8776]

Dreadful movie in spire of the abundance of talent.

[@judithcressey1682]

Enjoyed the book at the time but the film was weak, very overrated.
