Incredibly versatile, and incredibly talented legend Dame Maggie Smith, passes away at 89 on September 27th.
Dame Maggie Smith was born on December 28, 1934, and christened Margaret Natalie Smith in Ilford, a lower-middle-class area of Essex, England.
The prolific, multi-award-winning actor whose work ranged from The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie to Harry Potter to Downton Abbey, has died aged 89.
(I haven’t watched everything she was in but everything I have watched her in just made me love her more.)
Smith's prolific performances on stage, screen, and television have spanned from comedy to drama, from Shakespeare to J.K. Rowling, and from provocative flame to complex sage. Smith has left us a body of work that is rarely matched by her peers and no doubt will remain unmatched by her successors for quite some time.
In 1989, Smith was awarded the title of "Dame" by Queen Elizabeth II for her dramatic prowess and accomplishments. In 2014, QE II made Smith the 47th member of the Order of Companions of Honor, an honor shared among her contemporaries and friends, Sir Ian McKellen and Dame Judi Dench.
