Her Girl Crush… Nine Reasons We Love And Adore Maggie Smith

The current series of Downton Abbey is drawing to a close but that just means we're going to have to spend a couple of months without the company of the legend that is Maggie Smith. Here are nine very important reasons that we love her. 1. Because she is Maggie Smith And there is no one like her in the entire world. 2. She's Lady Grantham in Downton Abbey. She is the best character. 3. She was Professor McGonagall. And she did not approve. 4. She's besties with Judi Dench. Two legends, what a photo. 5. Because wouldn't she be the best teacher ever in general? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE1v7BW6UKk 6. This interview.
