Downton Abbey: Top 10 Maggie Moments
![]() DAME MAGGIE SMITH (Wikimedia) Dame Margaret "Maggie" Smith is one of Britain's most beloved actresses. The 79 year-old, now starring in the famed Downton Abbey TV series, has won seven BAFTA Awards, two Academy Awards, three Golden Globes, three Emmys, and one Tony. Thankfully, she has no plans to retire. I just watched her interviewed on 60 Minutes (see video below) and was saddened to learn that she is, in fact, quite lonely . . . a complaint voiced by many elderly folks, whether movie stars or not. Since Maggie's second husband (the "love of her life") died, she has had no desire to remarry and lets work fill the void. Currently, Maggie is busy filming Season 4 of Downton, and my fingers are crossed that fine scripts continue to come her way.

I love Maggie Smith! Thank you so much for sharing the 60 Minutes Interview. Judi Dench and Maggie Smith are my absolute favourite actresses. They are wonderful together in "Ladies in Lavender" and in "Tea with Mussolini" as well.

You're quite welcome, Mieke! Judi and Maggie are my absolute favorites too. Their personas are so polar opposite, they're almost like the two sides of one coin--one side sunny; the other "spiky"...and I love both!
