Today marks 2 years since Dame Maggie Smith passed away. 🙏🕊️ Dame Maggie Smith (1934–2024) was one of screen and stage’s most formidable talents, celebrated across a legendary seven-decade career for her peerless dramatic gravitas and razor-sharp comic timing. She captivated generations through iconic film roles including her Oscar-winning performances in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1969) and California Suite (1978), her beloved portrayal of Professor Minerva McGonagall across the Harry Potter saga (2001–2011), and her definitive television turn as the biting Dowager Countess, Violet Crawley, in Downton Abbey (2010–2015). #maggiesmith #hook #harrypotter #downtownabbey #nostalgia
