God I couldn't even name all of the amazing roles she had over her career. What a legend.
RIP Dame Maggie.
RIP Dame Maggie.
Truly someone who absolutely removed whatever mental image I had of McGonagall
Truly heartbreaking we've lost them all.
Maggie Smith was an immensely talented woman who brought so much depth & presence to her roles. A wonderful body of work she leaves behind for everyone to enjoy.

Ditto.
RIP.
Both books and movies were huge for me. She was such an amazing cast in this, can't say I'm really familiar with her work outside of this, but here, she was perfect.
RIP a legend of the art
I think I watched Prime of Miss Jean Brodie about 10 times throughout my High School days. My teachers were obsessed with it, though it was set close to where I went to school.

If you haven't, check out her IMDB. You might be surprised where else you might have seen her. She popped up a lot in smaller roles, like Hook and Sister Act.
One of my favorite slapstick comedies of all time.

RIP to an icon. I've loved her in everything I've ever seen her in.
Same here. She completely removed my mental image of McGonagall and replaced her. One of the few actors to do so from the movies. She was amazing.
I love her in Sister Act
"Boogie woogie on the piano WHAT WERE YOU THINKING"
Loved Downton Abbey but she was so underrated in Sister Act, which was where I first saw her. Just absolutely nailed that role. She was superb.
Same 😭"What is a weekend?" 😥
I watched The 1993 Secret Garden like a million times as a kid. She was a fabulous asshole in it and my first real exposure to her lol. (That house was extraordinary too).

She truly was a legendary lady, here's another legend speaking of her truly brilliant wit
Bensonmum...mam. Might be one of the funniest exchanges ever to me.
Woah, didn't realize she was Wendy. I was a kid, don't blame me!
Beautiful movie.
