Great career and great twilight with Potter and Downton

California Suite was the first movie I can recall seeing Maggie Smith play in back during the 1970's. I have a thing for actors who are naturally sarcastic, which I love.

Smith had a biting wit smoothly delivered via her very British nature. Her part made an impression that never left me. There was almost nothing that she played in through the years that I did not end up enjoying.

Rest in peace, Ms. Smith. Your passing is yet another reminder for me that growing old sucks.

On season 3 of Downton Abbey, she is quite excellent. RIP Maggie Smith!

Her delivery on sarcasm was among the best, and she seemed like a nice lady.

Seems to be a huge amount of British actors who had bigger careers as a senior actor. Her, Ian McKellen, Anthony Hopkins, Christopher Lee, Sean Connery, etc… Guess that’s a sign of a true thespian when they can still star in movies without the looks or action needs.
