Anyone who ever interviews a serious actor / star should watch this interview. Brandreth knows both their careers better than they do, he knows just the questions to ask, and he doesn't insert himself into the discussion unless he has something genuinely interesting or witty to add. Result: they both respect him, trust him and are therefore more relaxed and forthcoming.
I love the way that Dame M is so interested and focused on what Kathleen Turner says. So down to earth, grounded and also modest. What a wonderful woman, wonderful actress, great, great talent. Witty, charming. People say ‘Legend’ a great deal. But she was. Already greatly, greatly missed. The world is a poorer place without her precious soul.
“Can I borrow your barrier?” “Can we have dinner?” What an introduction! Thank You Giles Brandriff for leading this marvelous interview in your oh so genial way. Quite the trifecta.
Many are questioning whether this was truly Dame Maggie's final interview, but she was always known for giving few interviews and being intensely private. Also, the description clearly states it’s from 2021. Instead of debating it, simply appreciate this masterclass in interviewing. We rarely had the chance to know her beyond the screen or stage.
Thank you for posting this, who would have thought they would be friends! I wish he would of asked how they both felt about Eileen Atkins. She and turner hated each other.
Such a wonderful and interesting conversation and deeply touching. Brings tears. And chapeau to Gyles Brandreth for the tact and sensitivity of the way he draws out these two remarkable artists.
What a delightful and unexpected interview. One of the things that I absolutely love about Dame Maggie is how graceful her hands are. She had the ability to speak volumes with just her hands.
What a wonderful, respectful, relaxed, and honest interview this is! Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us. I'm still processing Maggie Smith's passing as she was one of those fixtures in our lives that made it seem she'd outlive each of us. I can't tell you what a pleasure it is to listen to each of you pay such attention to one another sharing. Brilliant. 💌
I was half in tears watching this, knowing Dame Maggie isn’t now around 😢 Gyles is such a good interviewer, I’m so glad this last interview was captured!
That was absolutely brilliant. I do love Gyles and Maggie of course. I would never have thought of Maggie and Kathleen having such a connection. They say opposites attract.
Another friend that Dame Maggie made back in NYC in the '50s was also a mutual friend of Julie Andrews and that was the actress Alice Ghostly (who was so hilarious in the sitcom "Designing Women") and that is how she came to be the one to accept Maggie's Best Actress Oscar for her.
I could of watched this for another hour. I haven't seen or heard anything about Kathleen in decades. And Dame Maggie may she RIP. She was such a wonderful actress.
It is absolutely wonderful! So insightful. I watched this interview in awe as this two lovely actresses recounted their life experiences. Thank you to the interviewer for having such warmth and putting them at ease. Wonderful!!
I live in London and remember what KT was doing the Graduate. People were so excited that she was here. I'm surprised they didn't have to shut down the entire street to manage the throngs of people. I saw her a few years later in Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf and she was magnificent. Not all film/tv actors can manage stage. But she could. I'd love to see her again.
What makes her loss so much more profound is how well she looks / is...body,mind,soul and essence so complete. I'm not sure what happened, but she is so full of life here..just hurts more as I feel Maggie had so much more to give 😢
She was clearly very unwell for the last year - I knew when she didn’t come to Wimbledon this year or show up for anything with the Miracle Club. Aside from the Loewe photo shoot her last public appearance was at the Coronation and she looked over it poor thing
I worked with Maggie wayyyy back in the early 70s in Spain on 'Travels'. We both ended up on the cutting room floor. A story I've dined out on for over 50 years.
I had no idea they knew each other ,that was a wonderful interview between two wonderful actresses ,rest in peace beautiful Maggie Smith,the world won’t be the same without you !
Never seen Gyles speak so little , he clearly respects them both a lot. For those who don't know him, he's an interesting person in himself and broke records for speeches. He can talk to an almost athletic degree 😅
@@AndyRossism Gyles is an amazing man who can talk at length on most subjects he’s also written some books on the royal family including Queen Elizabeth ll, Prince Phillip also Charles & Camilla.
Fantastic interview. I have always enjoyed both these actresses, one movie of Maggie Smith's I really enjoyed that was not mentioned was Murder by Death. Her along with other great actors in the Neil Simon comedy is a great movie that deserves more credit than it gets especially in this day and age.
Maggie looks so different in this, her hair, her clothes, her gestures, almost like a "teenager", very "youngish", love it, I'm used to seeing her dressed like an old lady, a grandma, but not here
Her career was very long and demanding, during those over 60 years for sure she had her ooos and downs. She had very strong mentality and even when she was contradicting herself she wasn’t very hard on herself, with such a big expectations from industry and people, deep down she probably was which is not easy to handle. Being on the set sometimes she was „ dropping”her ( very high) acting skills to help other actors to get the scene right which I found very tactful. Plus people during old age can be much more melancholic. For sure she was a true Dame in her profession. May she rest in peace 🙏🏻🫶🏻
Maggie STOLE the VIPs from Liz & Dick. Their story was so slow, painful, and thick... Maggie's story with Rod was wonderful and fresh... and she was wonderful & fresh! So good! She owns the movie

You're totally correct. Thanks for saying.
Fully agree. A brilliant interview.

So well said and so true!
I couldn't agree more.
Me too.
People like Dame MS should live until 190 years or more. Such a gifted Actress.❤
A Beacon of Light ☀️ in our world.
Sometimes the algorithm just delivers a gem
I was took here without knowing why! Sometimes the algorithms do us more than well
Dame Maggie Smith was always a delight to watch. She will be missed.
I'm ready to subscribe to Netflix again just to be able to watch and rewatch lovely Maggie Smith in Downton Abbey!
“Can I borrow your barrier?” “Can we have dinner?”
What an introduction!
Thank You Giles Brandriff for leading this marvelous interview in your oh so genial way.
Quite the trifecta.
One of the best interviews I have ever seen. Everyone is so interested in what everyone else is saying.
Very old school - not the grantee get today.

Just wonderful agree great interview, I loved Kathleen’s lovely words to Dame Maggie she was so visibly moved by them.
You're so right; I felt the same!

Yes so sad Dame maggie Smith is no longer with us . A wonderful actress Left so many great memories .❤
That was absolutely brilliant. I do love Gyles and Maggie of course. I would never have thought of Maggie and Kathleen having such a connection. They say opposites attract.

Loved Bernice! So hilarious!

All Truest of friends!!!
Alice Ghostly played Samantha's (Elizabeth Montgomery) aunt on Bewitched.
That was exquisite to watch your questions flowed so well thank you as I watch from deepest darkest Peru

She was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 74. It might have returned.
She was clearly very unwell for the last year - I knew when she didn’t come to Wimbledon this year or show up for anything with the Miracle Club. Aside from the Loewe photo shoot her last public appearance was at the Coronation and she looked over it poor thing
A delightful conversation.
This is absolutely superb.
What a legend ! so modest and self effacing ..refreshing to see ..talented witty and a real treasure .RIP beautiful lady ❤
I loved that. Thank you ❤
I loved this, absolutely wonderful.
Thanks for this post! X
Brilliant interview

I had no idea they knew each other ,that was a wonderful interview between two wonderful actresses ,rest in peace beautiful Maggie Smith,the world won’t be the same without you !
so glad Kathleen picked Serial Mom as one of her favourites.
Is that a Hockney painting behind Kathleen? It just caught my eye.
Loved loved it!
Dearest Dame Maggie. May Flights of Angels Sing Thee into The Arms of The Beloved
❤❤❤
These two women are the greatest actresses and artists!

What a glorious interview, what a career!!
Kathleen Turner was in London at the height of the Swinging 60's, beehives & miniskirts & great music.
Greatly apreciated, here from BRASIL!!!!!!
Lovely. R.I.P Maggie
Fantastic interview. I have always enjoyed both these actresses, one movie of Maggie Smith's I really enjoyed that was not mentioned was Murder by Death. Her along with other great actors in the Neil Simon comedy is a great movie that deserves more credit than it gets especially in this day and age.
This is truely lovely!
Wow Kathleen Turner's 1000 year time capsule picks would be War of the Roses & Serial Mom, my favorites. Love that 😄
Loved every moment..
What a treat...
Polite gentle rapid applause to the three ladies and bravissimo bravissimo to the elderly gentleman speaking with the rather false accent.
The two ladies had great love of each other, God I wished I could have that kind of supports from my former colleagues in my 30 years of career
Thank you 😀❤️👍
What a treasure they both are!
Wow, completely rediscovered Kathleen Turner! What an exciting childhood and what an interesting woman!!
I saw both those performances, wonderful actresses.
both awesome
Turner was magnificent in Body Heat
I loved both of these ladies they were and are the most brilliant actresses ever
Maggie looks so different in this, her hair, her clothes, her gestures, almost like a "teenager", very "youngish", love it, I'm used to seeing her dressed like an old lady, a grandma, but not here
Sweet 🥰🥰😊
A masterpiece
Bravo to the 3 of them
Thanks to Gyles, Kathleen and the late Dame Maggie! 🤩
A lovely interview, both incredible women, I’m not sure Maggie has really enjoyed her career, she has an underlying sadness, I thought.
Her career was very long and demanding, during those over 60 years for sure she had her ooos and downs. She had very strong mentality and even when she was contradicting herself she wasn’t very hard on herself, with such a big expectations from industry and people, deep down she probably was which is not easy to handle. Being on the set sometimes she was „ dropping”her ( very high) acting skills to help other actors to get the scene right which I found very tactful. Plus people during old age can be much more melancholic.
For sure she was a true Dame in her profession. May she rest in peace 🙏🏻🫶🏻
@@Meggie951she didn’t take herself too seriously, yet extremely talented and professional 😊😊😊❤❤❤😢😢😢
Widow & decades of health issues, she continued working, trouper. Watch Tea With the Dames, no sadness.
@@emmahart7500 she’s an Aquarius ♒️ - deep
Thank u
Delightful 👏👏
Sublime perfection ⭐️
Love you both!
Beautiful to my ears, costuming is an art unto itself
beautiful. I like Giles from his canal journeys with Sheila Hancock. Love Maggie, Kathleen is good too. x
Body Heat, War of the Roses, and The Accidental Tourist are excellent movies.
Wonderful. Kathleen too is a real talent and a treasure. She seems so much more ‘English’ than american!
good ad for no cosmetic surgery.
R.I.P Dame Maggie 🙏🏻
This was a Sheer Delight!
David Harbour played Nick. Lol KT hit Sheriff Hopper 😃
1:06:42 = That was just beautiful. 💌🌹
Kathleen is sooo beautiful!
Maggie STOLE the VIPs from Liz & Dick. Their story was so slow, painful, and thick... Maggie's story with Rod was wonderful and fresh... and she was wonderful & fresh! So good! She owns the movie
