During her long career, Maggie Smith has been many things to her fans. Electrifying as a charismatic schoolmistress in her best actress Oscar-winning role in "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie." Hilarious as the vain actress with a bisexual (at best) husband in "California Suite." Heartbreaking as a middle-aged Irish spinster in "The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne."...
