Oscar-winning actress Dame Maggie Smith, most famous in recent years for her roles in the Harry Potter and Downton Abbey series, has passed away at age 89.
The Post Millennial reported that the multi-award-winning British actress died Friday, citing a statement from Smith’s sons. On both stage and screen, from Shakespearean plays to popular fantasy films, both in her youth and in her old age, Maggie Smith was an exceptional actress whose work will long be remembered.
“She passed away peacefully in hospital early this morning, Friday 27th September,” Smith’s sons Chris Larkin and Toby Stephens said. “An intensely private person, 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.
