Maggie Smith is one of the most iconic actresses in living memory.
Smith spoke about her decision to become an actress during a 2019 interview withThe Evening Standard.
“It was such a ghastly time and we didn’t go to the theatre.
I got into terrible trouble once because the neighbors took me to the cinema on a Sunday.
“I’m not kidding.
I’d go to theatres, I’d go to galleries, things like that on my own.
And now I can’t and that’s awful.”
With a career dating back to the 1950s, though, she’s more than earned a break.
She is also a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire.
Smith was also convinced to rejoin her “Downton Abbey” castmates for the2019 “Downton Abbey” film.
And that was very challenging.”
Smith also seemed to feel that her illness would mean that she wouldn’t appear in the upcoming film.
“I was firmly convinced it would start with the funeral.
However, Neame never counted her out.
