    Tears in my eyes. What a nice tribute to a legend. It is not the show, film, or theater; it’s the time I spent next to my mother enjoying every moment before , during, and after over coffee and treat. Creating moments I cherish even in her death still engaging with my elderly mother. What a ride since the 60s. Thank you Dame Smith. You are a treasure.

    I adored her,she was just incomparable. Downton abbey is my and my mom's favorite tv show ever,but I feel quite sad because everyone is talking about just Downton abbey and Harry Potter as if she had not done anything in her life before these projects. She had amazing career in her younger era and maybe even more meaningful to her.

      I never watched it either or any of the Harry Potter movies. I kept waiting for them to mention the Sister Act movies in many of these tributes because those movies introduced her to such a diverse audience. But I guess those of us who cherish that role will have to remember her in our own way.

    Hail and Farewell to one of the one of the brightest lights that ever graced both stage and screen, Dame Maggie Smith 🥲During sad moments like this I reflect on the lessons that physics teaches us. Energy cannot be created or destroyed but can only change form. My poet’s interpretation is that energy, much like Maggie’s feisty, beautiful spirit/soul, remains intact. Dame Maggie touched so many generations, with her performances that it’s difficult to imagine a world without her in it 🥲 Today I applaud you Dame Smith and thank you for your immense contributions to the arts, Brava 🌹

    Since she was in _Hook,_ I pictured this as Robin Williams stands at the gates of heaven.
    Maggie: “Hello, boy.”
    Robin: “Hello, Wendy Lady.” _(Tears fill his eyes)_
    Maggie: “Boy, why are you crying?”
    Robin: “I don’t know. A tear for every happy thought.”

I refuse to watch more than once the Downton Abbey episode where she died. I didn't know she was going to die in it or I wouldn't have watched then. Happy trails, Dame Maggie. You're a legend.

    I’m both loving and hating 30 year olds saying she was in Harry Potter, not yet having discovered Downton Abbey and probably never to know the definitive Miss Jean Brodie or Lettice Douffet or Charlotte Bartlett. Americans will never know her comedy with Kenneth Williams or her BBC appearances in the 1960s and 70s and none of us can go back in time to see her Oxford Playhouse and student productions. Such is life. But even a few crumbs of Maggie Smith is a feast to last a lifetime and enough was recorded for the future. Thank you and Rest in Peace.

    Dame Maggie Smith was a true DIVA with etiquette and decorum. I first came to know her in the film, Clash of the Titans. Then Sister Act, Harry Potter, and Downton Abbey. Since her death Friday September 27, 2024, I found the movie, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and watched it for free on RUclips videos. She is in the movie Quartet on the free streaming site, Pluto. I will watch California Suite today on the free streaming site, Tubi tv. I re-watched Downton Abbey: A New Era late last night on Starz and seeing her character Violet Grantham die, I couldn't help but cry. It's cloudy here today in Washington, D.C. and I will spend the entire day watching movies featuring Maggie Smith. I have all the premium cable channels in my Verizon Fios package, plus Netflix, Amazon Prime, Tubi TV, Pluto TV, and Plex TV.😁 RIP, DAME Maggie Smith. 🙏🙏 P.S. - All the Harry Potter movies are streaming on MAX and I also have all the Harry Potter movies on DVD.

      She was devastated obviously, but she could have easily retired but chose to keep acting, probably because it was extremely healthy for her socially and emotionally to be around other people and work together. At any rate, they are reunited now, and no doubt it’s a joyful reunion.

      That is why you shouldn't judge people by what they say in soundbites on the tv/internet. I'm pretty sure this tribute made it very clear how much she loved what she did - for its own sake. She loved acting. I don't think she "went through the motions" of anything in her life.
