48 - Maggie Smith Tribute
Manage episode 450839407 series 3554274
Last month, the film industry lost one of the most prolific actresses in history, Dame Maggie Smith.
With a stage and screen career that spanned seven decades, it was nearly impossible to pick only three films to highlight Maggie Smith's outstanding career, but we did our best.
- We start with Maggie Smith's Academy Award Winning performance as the enigmatic school teacher in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.
- We switch gears with one of the most revered comedies of the 1990s, where Smith dons a habit in Sister Act.
- Finally, we discuss how tremendous she is in an ensemble piece in her Academy Award-nominated performance in Robert Altman's Gosford Park.
Obviously, these three films are just scratching the surface of Dame Maggie Smith's career, so please let us know your favorite performance.
