Legendary actress. For some reason I always think of Murder by Death first when I think of her. RIP
RIP, we just watched the 2022 Downton Abbey movie recently which featured her kinda prominently in the story line in an interesting way. She was great as always!!
She's outstanding and she will be missed dearly. I don't know if anyone in Harry Potter was more appropriately cast than her as McGonnagal. I don't think anyone could completely bring the character to life like she did. Outstanding actress.
Really sad news. I have a real admiration for that generation of British actors (Smith, McKellan, Dench, etc.) They are not only immensely talented but all have/had a charming personality and sense of humour, untouched by fame in a way you don't really see these days.
Aww man, that sucks. RIP to a legend.
Lol, I don't think a month goes by where either I say that to my wife, or she says it to me.
She was great.

Oh no! A sad loss, she was such a force of acting talent and cleverness, you could make a degree of it. RIP.
RIP
That's a big loss. She was terrific in basically everything she did. I remember thinking she was already in her 80s for longer than I care to admit because of her great portrayal of an older Wendy in Hook.
Have to think they'll make a third Downton movie just so that audiences can say their official goodbyes to her and the character and put a final capstone on the series.

RIP to a legend. Huge Downton and HP fan here, hated to even text my wife about it.
Just insane screen presence. Always left an impact, always commanded attention.

So, Peter, you've become a pirate.
Ugh I love this film and should rewatch now.
They're already making a third Downton movie. And her character passed away at end of the second film.
I was just thinking about her the other day. She was a truly wonderful actress. What a loss. RIP
