She was great on Graham Norton

Such sad news, but a life well lived, and what a great legacy of work she leaves. RIP Dame Maggie.

So so sad - an incredible actress.

RIP Dame Maggie

Same. Awesome woman and actor.

RIP Dame Maggie. Your acting was supremely superb and your presence stole the scene every time X

Although she reached a grand old age it feels like she had so much more to give and we’ve lost that. So sad.

Grew up watching The Secret Garden & Hook and loved her in both.

Just read this 😭I'm gutted.

Am shedding a few tears having seen this on the news - not that she’d have known me even if she accidentally sat on me, but because I think many of us feel she really brought a lot to our lives.

My favourite actress: rest in peace Dame Maggie.

I just heard the news 😞. She was amazing in everything I saw her in. Thanks for the laughs, Maggie ♥️.

RIP Dame Maggie. You brought joy to millions.

Oh no, this has shocked me. I mean, she was obviously elderly but she had been working right up to very recently. RIP and thank you for all the pleasure you gave us <3.

An absolutely wonderful actress. RIP.
May her memory be a blessing.

No! Oh that's sad. She was wonderful.

Another here who is deeply saddened to hear of this news. 😔 She was truly fabulous and led such an interesting life, one of those rare talents who could portray so many characters so perfectly.

Such sad news RIP

RIP Dame Maggie. What a gal. 💐

So sad. Like others have said I hoped she’d go in forever. Loved her in anything I saw her in.

Loved her character in Downton - brilliant actress!

Oh how sad.

89 is a good age but still not much comfort to the family.

She amassed an incredible body of work. there was just something incredibly special about her. I genuinely feel bereft

Saddened by this news - even though she lived to a good age.

A national treasure, a character and actor that is irreplaceable.

She has left us with a superb catalogue of her stellar work.

May she rest in fabulousness.

Dame Maggie was one of the few people you let out an audible gasp when you hear the announcement. To me, she was on a level with Sir David Attenborough, in the sense that she was one of our finest stars, and one who felt like a member of the family ✨.

She received numerous accolades including two Academy Awards, five BAFTA Awards, four Emmy Awards, three Golden Globe Awards, and a Tony Award as well as nominations for six Laurence Olivier Awards. Smith is one of the few performers to earn the Triple Crown of Acting.
