The one and only Maggie Smith first started her acting career in 1955; that’s over 60 years ago! Unbelievably, she is still working in movies and theatre and is set to appear in the upcoming movie A Boy Called Christmas in 2020. Often considered to be one of the best English actresses of all time, Smith was made Dame in 1990 and later received the Companion of Honour, a reward for outstanding achievements.
Over the last 10 to 15 years, Maggie Smith revitalized her outstanding career by appearing in the highly-successful TV show Downtown Abbey and by portraying the iconic Professor McGonagall in the Harry Potter movie franchise.
