She always attends Wimbledon when she can. I kind of love that she watches tennis and prefers that more than going to award shows.

Nominated four straight years! That's quite the feat. Can't imagine Downton without her. She's such a huge part of its success. Congrats Maggie!

The Academy loves Dame Maggie. I can't imagine the show without her as well. They might as well just end it if she's leaving.

She might be swapping her brocade Downton gowns for some less fancy getup and ageing 15 years, but 79-year-old Maggie Smith’s screen presence looks to be as arresting as ever in this trailer for her new film, My Old Lady.

Adapted from Israel Horovitz’s play, the comedy-drama charts the story of penniless New Yorker Mathias Gold (played by Kevin Kline) who moves to Paris to claim an apartment willed to him by his estranged father.

But Mathias arrives to find the apartment comes with two unexpected occupants – his father’s 94-year-old former lover Mathilde Girard (Maggie Smith), and her daughter Chloé (Kristin Scott Thomas). And from the looks of it, domestic bliss doesn’t figure in the equation, thanks to Mathilde’s difficult ways.

This first look at My Old Lady certainly promises the full package of laughs, gasps, and perhaps a few tears. Plus, we reckon you can expect a performance from Maggie that Downton’s quick-witted Countess Dowager herself would approve of.

Wow! That movie looks really good. It looks like a nice mix of comedy, drama and life lessons. And what a cast! Maggie keeps herself busy doesn't she?

She does! And ditto on the cast. Such power houses.

My Old Lady opens in US cinemas on September 10 and in the UK on November 21.

Welcome to the thread, Laurelle! I've added you. Dame Maggie certainly has the best lines on the show. Julian Fellowes makes sure of that.

Indeed Downton wouldn't have been the same, wasn't Dame Maggie also part of it I also love how she's still energetic, despite the fact she's almost 80 years old Let alone how she can walk in those dresses...

I know right? Tbh I'll always be frazzled if I was working with her: I can't be late and I can't make a lot of mistakes during takes.

Suppose you made mistakes, I think she'd be understanding and help you with your lines a bit. She just looks like that kind of person A friendly, helpful and understanding woman.

Now I remembered what Joanne Frogatt said about wanting to have a scene with Maggie in which they talk together. Because she already had one scene with Maggie and Maggie was the one to talk :Lol:
