Maggie Smith: "I led a perfectly normal life until Downton Abbey"


Here's the late great Dame Maggie Smith being interviewed by Mark Lawson in 2017. They talk about Alan Bennett, the fame brought by Downton Abbey and the awfulness of waiting on a Harry Potter set in a silly hat.

I remember a remark by David Hemmings to the effect that anyone can learn to act, the harder thing is learning to wait.
