Rest well, Professor McGonagall

[MN Fisher]

Dame Margaret Natalie Smith CH DBE passed away Friday - in addition to the above role, she was in a plethora of movies, TV and stage roles.

She won 2 Oscars, 4 Emmys, 1 Tony, 3 Golden Globe, and 5 BAFTA awards and was well respected among her peers.

She was also one of only 63 people in the world who was a member of Order of the Companions of Honour - that list is limited to 65 max and is a special honour bestowed by the Monarch.

 

Another role not well known was as the Goddess Thetis in 1981's 'Clash of the Titans'.

 

Rest well, Maggie...we'll miss you.

Had to have seen her in something....unlike most where they list the actor credits in the main page, Wiki put her credits on a separate page - that's how much she was in.

 

Some of the more well known films

Murder by Death

Death on the Nile

Hook ( ya, the Robin Williams one...she played Grandma Wendy)

Sister Act 1 & 2 (Mother Superior)

 

And of course on TV she was the Dowager Countess of Grantham in Downton Abby
