When a legend passes, one must take note, and take stock. Today, legendary actor Maggie Smith exited the stage at the age of 89, having delighted generations of audiences at both the cinema and the theatre. Her film and TV credits go back nearly 70 years, and Smith worked until her death:
Smith’s sons, Chris Larkin and Toby Stephens, paid tribute to their mother in a joint statement. “It is with great sadness we have to announce the death of Dame Maggie Smith. She passed away peacefully in hospital early this morning,” they wrote.
“She was with friends and family at the end. She leaves two sons and five loving grandchildren who are devastated by the loss of their extraordinary mother and grandmother,” Larkin and Stephens wrote. They did not immediately specify a cause of death.
Smith gave excellent performances in so many fims that her actual credit count at IMDB might surprise…
