Among the very old people I know today, I didn’t know any of them when they were very young. My own mother, who passed at age 85, looked at least a generation younger than Maggie Smith so yes it is unusual to see the same person age from so young to so old.
I also am a recent fan having just discovered this show on streaming netflix. Only seen the first 2 episodes so far, but what great characters and well written drama! Look forward to watching more.
Now that I have seen everything I can safely visit this thread too.
I had great saturday nights for a while with Downton Abbey followed by Boardwalk Empire.
I have always liked maggie smith and have not seen her in anything really since The prime of miss jean brody (one of my fave movies ) . I really like her in this .,
She has been in all of the Harry Potter movies. An excellent actress she is!
I just discovered this series. I really love it! Anyone else a fan?
Saw a few episodes last night and thought it was just a costume melodrama. I truly enjoyed Upstairs/Downstairs and thought this would be similar but it is not. Atmosphere appears off compared to the US/DS despite the production values. Appears a bit too modern in the tensions and attitudes. (An upper class woman driving a tractor in 1916?) Then again, Mr. Hudson, the Bellamys,etal just set too high a standard.
I thought it was kind of ridiculous how bothered the family was by having the hospital in their home. Yes, of course it was generous of them, but they live in a huge house with hundreds of rooms. I can't believe that there isn't anywhere for the family to go where they're not tripping over wounded soldiers.
Oh forget all that, what were your favorite Maggie Smith lines?

My apologies.
