Maggie Smith

[BEN]

Maggie Smith is Britains Most Talented, Most Interesting and Highest Award Winning Actress ever. What instantly makes her better than her contempories Dame Judi Dench and Vanessa Redgrave is she completely inhabits her characters and says each line with true conviction that can only be compared to such Hollywood greats Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffman. What makes her even greater is her mesmerizing personality. In any film shes in you are hooked on her every single high pitched toned word. As said on this website she is simply one of the greatest stage and screen Actresses of recent generations. You must agree with me?

Discussing her on another thread yesterday made me wonder how she is. I believe she has breast cancer. I wish her a speedy recovery. Showbiz without Maggie would be unthinkable. That wonderfully neurotic persona in so many films and plays. Do you remember Hot Millions, when her character has dropped a huge hint about marriage to Peter Ustinov? "Are you popping the question Patty?" he asks. "Well" Maggie drawls "it's gotta be popped an'it?" Marvellous.
