Another for the “coincidences” thread - I saw a clip of her being funny on the Graham Norton show on YouTube yesterday and looked up her age on Wikipedia and to see what she was up to lately. Now the sad news today 
Wonderful actress. RIP.

A wonderful actress, who played a wide variety of roles. 89 is a good age, and she made the best use of her talent, starting with the Life of Miss Jean Brodie. The creme de la creme.
A good life, well lived.

Her put down lines in Downton are absolutely incredible. May you R-i-P.

For the last several years she lived somewhere around Pulborough / West Chiltington - she was a regular at the farm shop there.

Oh no 
One of my absolute favourite actresses and an incredible ability to convey sardonic wit.
From the Prime of Ms Jean Brodie to Tea with Mussolini to Downtown Abbey - there was no one who could play cantankerous and indignant like Dame Maggie Smith.
And brilliant in Lady in the Van
An absolute icon of the stage and film.

They don’t make them like her anymore. I was watching Secret Garden the other day. She stole the show in most of the films she was in. A truly elite actress.

Can't think anyone could feel anything but deep sadness hearing this. A true light in a dark world.

Some of these threads I question on here.
But this one I don't.
One of the greats, such sad news. Rest in Peace.

An all time great. I have to say the Prime of Miss Jean Brodie is one of my favourite films ever.
