Actress Dame Maggie Smith dies at 89
(www.bbc.co.uk)
We'll miss you, Professor. =(
She was 89 and no doubt lead a truly fulfilling life, and so I think objectively it's not a sad passing - she had a truly remarkable life and long life.
That said, she was a significant part of my childhood, and always on the television in the various households I've lived in for one show or another. It feels like losing a beloved grandmother, and I'm devastated. RIP Maggie.
She was one of the people I mentally considered immortal. She has been 'old' my entire life.
Good innings, Maggie, fly high. 🫡 Think I first saw her in Hook as a child
I am saddened immensely
Damn. I thought she was one of the immortal ones.
That's a shame. Although living in that van all those years probably didn't help.
😭
Sad to say goodbye but she'll live forever in her performances and she had a good life. Coolest cat ever.
Prime of Miss Jean Brodie is probably what I'll remember her best for
