With the combined fan power of Downton Abbey and Harry Potter, as well as the success of the Marigold Hotel franchise, Maggie Smith’s visibility has increased with age. Acclaimed for comedy, drama, and tragedy, Smith has had an extensive 60-year career on stage, film, and television. She has appeared in over 50 films — winning two Oscars for her performances in The Prime of Jean Brodie and California Suite. A prominent figure in British culture, she was made a Dame by Queen Elizabeth II in 1990 for her services to the performing arts.
