As a lifelong fan of cinema and theater, I have been deeply saddened by the loss of Dame Maggie Smith. Her performances were nothing short of extraordinary, and she will be dearly missed by millions of fans around the world.
Stars are mourning the loss of one of Hollywood’s most beloved legends.
Actress Maggie Smith, who won two Oscars and became famous for her roles as Violet Crawley in ‘Downton Abbey‘ and Professor McGonagall in the ‘Harry Potter’ series, passed away on September 27, according to a statement from her family to TopMob News. She was 89 years old.
With deep regret, we must share the news of Dame Maggie Smith’s passing. Her sons, Chris Larkin, age 57, and Toby Stephens, 55, confirmed this heartbreaking news in a statement. She peacefully left us at a hospital early on Friday, September 27th. Being deeply private, she was surrounded by friends and family in her final moments.
Beyond her family, Maggie has left an unrivaled impact. Spanning over 70 years of work, she garnered a Best Actress Oscar for “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie” in 1970 and a Best Supporting Actress nod almost a decade later for “California Suite.” Throughout her career, she graced some of the most memorable films of her era, such as “Hook,” “Gosford Park,” and “Sister Act.
After her passing, Whoopi Goldberg reminisced about their shared experiences working on the final installment of the series.
Whoopi expressed on her September 27 Instagram post that Maggie Smith was an exceptional woman and a talented actress whom she had the privilege of working with. She finds it hard to believe her luck, referring to Smith as ‘unique in kind.’ Her heartfelt sympathies are extended to the family. Rest in peace.
Simultaneously, Rob Lowe (from the movie “Suddenly, Last Summer”) couldn’t stop praising how Maggie commanded the spotlight with her performance.
Rob expressed his sadness after learning that Dame Maggie Smith has passed away on platform X (previously known as Twitter).

She was fierce and could easily overpower others, yet she also had a wicked sense of humor and made for excellent company. She didn’t tolerate foolishness, and her unique presence will be sorely missed. It’s unlikely we’ll see another like her again. Farewell, Ms. Smith! May you rest in peace.
Beyond just the acting world, Maggie’s influential legacy reached numerous individuals as well. Notably, this 89-year-old actress, who had an illustrious career that extended to stage productions like Macbeth, Othello, and Richard III, was bestowed with the title of Dame by the late Queen Elizabeth II in recognition of her significant contributions to the arts.
2014 saw me bestowed with a remarkable honor when Her Majesty, the late queen, chose to include me among the select group of members in the Order of the Companions of Honour. This prestigious award is extended only to 65 distinguished individuals who are still alive at any given time, and my fellow recipients during that period included the renowned physicist, Stephen Hawking, who sadly passed away in 2018, as well as the esteemed actor, Ian McKellen.
Not just the late queen, but even Keir Starmer, the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, was moved by Maggie’s artistic talent and expressed remembrance for the actress as well.
“Dame Maggie Smith introduced us to new worlds with the countless stories she acted over her long career,” he wrote in a post shared to X, formerly Twitter Sept. 27. “She was beloved by so many for her great talent, becoming a true national treasure whose work will be cherished for generations to come.
