⚠️ Don't reveal the image if you've not seen the latest/last Downton Abbey movie yet, and you still plan to!! It can be a little spoiler, even though I've seen it mentioned already on a few sites... But I don't want to spoil anything, so hence the CW on the image and the warning here. ⚠️
Re-watching the Downton Abbey movies, *again*, as it's just the right time for it... Every movie makes me cry at the end, no matter how often I watch them...
The scene from the last movie, where they have a little "tribute" to the family members that passes away during the series and movies, there is this scene and it has me sobbing when I think of it... 😭
Of course it's of Dame Maggie Smith... I don't cry often for actors/actresses passing away, but I still remember when I got the notification of her passing when I was at the gym. And yeah... I cried... Downton Abbey helped me through so many hard times, where depression, grief, and loneliness were overwhelming me. And Dame Maggie always made me feel better...
So I made this little animation, in honor of Dame Maggie's portrayal of the Dowager Countess Violet Crawley. 💜

I heard yesterday of the death at the age of 89 of the great Maggie Smith. Tributes have been appearing around the world at the loss of such a great talent and wonderful personality. I can’t add anything to these except to say that I adored her.
I guess many people will be most familiar her through the work she did in later life, such as the Harry Potter franchise and Downtown Abbey but as an oldie I will always think of her as the eponymous Edinburgh schoolteacher in the 1969 film The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, based on the Muriel Spark novel of the same name, for which she deservedly won an Oscar as Best Actress for her portrayal of Jean Brodie, an over-zealous teacher with a soft spot for Mussolini’s fascisti. Here’s the original trailer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXA0N55c3iw
I do hope this film gets shown again soon as a tribute, as it is really superb.
Maggie Smith as Lady Constance Trentham in Gosford Park (2001)Other roles I particularly remember Maggie Smith for are in are California Suite (for which she also won an Oscar, as Best Supporting Actress). She was absolutely hilarious in Murder by Death, her perfect sense of comic timing generating numerous laugh-out-loud moments in that film.
Maggie Smith with David Niven in Murder by Death (1976)Maggie Smith was also memorable as the splendidly rude Lady Constance in Gosford Park, a role you might think of as a prelude to her part in Downton Abbey. There are countless other performances I could mention too, on TV, on Film and in the Theatre. She was tremendously versatile and talented, as well as extremely funny.
Rest in peace, Maggie Smith. You’ll be missed so much.

“This one hurts. I knew she was ill, but I always believed she was immortal. And, of course, her work is. But it’s hard to accept that all that piss and vinegar didn’t give us just a few more years of the extraordinary pleasure of her company.” https://www.theguardian.com/film/2024/sep/27/remembering-maggie-smith-every-day-she-and-judi-would-swim-in-their-victorian-swimsuits-and-every-day-we-would-all-laugh-and-laugh

Bringing her 🔥🔥🔥 Tilda Swinton/Madonna/Chaplin/Kabarett/Dylan-goes-electric gender-confuser energy to an otherwise pretty staid Death On The Nile (1978)
Seriously.
When Madonna came out with her cigar-chewing bisexual art-dominatrix Dita Parlo character in 1990, Maggie Smith had already cornered, tamed and trained it in this role.

I always had a weird crush on Maggie Smith when I was a young kid. Kind of like a pop star one you’d get from seeing them on TV.
For some people, it was Bowie doing ‘Starman’ or Kate Bush or whatever. But Smith? She was meta & smart, like Rita Hayworth with added, alien, Brecht-Bowie-Chaplin energy.
I kept seeing her being all cool and being *in* a role, and offering commentary *on* the character at the same time. Winking at the audience.

Dear Dame Maggie Smith, thank you for Hook, thank you for Sister Act, thank you for Clash of the Titans, thank you for A Room with a View and many more.
Most of all, for portraying the witch professor in the movie franchise for that book series we don't talk about, and for playing the Dowager Countess in one of my favourite shows ever. ❤️ #MaggieSmith #DameMaggieSmith

"I have just thrown up on some of the best people in Hollywood, now is no time to be sensitive."
Maggie Smith could make her eyes & voice play different roles simultaneously. It meant she was amazing at undercutting pathos with comedy & vice vera.
Absolute Chaplin-level physical artistry.
Here’s her Oscar-winning performance in California Suite. You’ll never order Eggs Benedict again without quoting it.

"I tend to head for what's amusing because a lot of things aren't happy. But usually you can find a funny side to practically anything."
Maggie Smith was a force of nature. From playing Charlotte Bartlett in 'A Room with a View' to Wendy Darling in 'Hook', she leaves a legacy of brilliant performances that spans decades.

Had the pleasure of seeing #DameMaggieSmith twice. Once in a captivating intimate conversation with 100 of us at the Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond… and, more recently in 2019 in a spellbinding 90-minute one woman monologue (whilst well into her 80s) performing as Joseph Goebbel’s secretary Brunhilde Pomsel in A German Life at The Bridge Theatre.
As herself, she was a little shy, even guarded, but delightfully cheeky.
In character, she was simply mesmeric.
The world will miss #MaggieSmith
