The British actress Maggie Smith died yesterday at the age of 89. Her career started in the 1950s and played a very wide range of roles but perhaps for the youngest generations her most famous role is that of professor Minerva McGonagall in the eight Harry Potter films or Violet Crawley – the Countess of Grantham – in the Downton Abbey TV series. Maggie Smith, who won two Oscars and countless theatre awards, rarely appeared on television or gave newspaper interviews as she wasn´t interested in the celebrity game but she had been named dame of the British Empire –DBBE – by Queen Elizabeth II in 1990, in recognition of her superb career.
