Stop that noise. I can't hear myself die. RIP Violet Crowley, Countess of Grantham.

Not even a mention of her role as Granny Wendy in Hook? She was the original Wendy. Would have loved to see out takes of her and Robin Williams!

I'm not ok with this. 😢 Nearly all of the adults from the series, a franchise I completely grew up with, are now gone. 😓 Professor McGonagall wasn't just one of my favorite characters, but my favorite professor at Hogwarts. 😭 I cannot picture anyone else portraying the character. Not one. She is simply irreplaceable, both the actress and character. What a true iconic legend. R.I.P
Wands up 🪄

Hook and Harry Potter are big parts of my childhood

Definitely should have ended it with “I’ve always wanted to use that spell”.

You are surrounded by people who are rooting for you. Now take a deep breath and start rooting for yourself.

My favorite of her characters was Dora Charleston in 1976's Murder by Death.

[rubygracemoseley]

My favorite Maggie Smith role is absolutely Violet Crawley. She had some of the best quotes I’ve ever heard in any character. “What is the weekend?” 😂

[noraguthrie]

Her depiction of the vain, deluded Jean Brodie was brilliant.

[emmajaynegoins]

NOOOO 😭😭😭😭 I can't believe it, i thought she would outlive us all!! What an absolute icon, you will forever be missed 🪄💔

[scottbuckley]

Top moment is when she lies to save Whoopi Goldberg in sister act. Such a great movie role . they could've just made a villain but with Maggie Smith she's just out of her element but still a good person.

Maggie Smith is the GOAT. Rest in peace to a legend. ❤️
