It is with great sadness we have to announce the death of Dame Maggie Smith. She passed away peacefully in hospital early this morning.
To a generation, she was the ultimate grandmother figure from her work in Sister Act and Hook, something that the actor embraced.
An intensely private person, she was with friends and family at the end. She leaves two sons and five loving grandchildren.
As a character actor, rather than a 'dish', she was able to age into roles as mothers and grandmothers while still developing her talents.
