[edit] Stage work

I am sure that she has done a lot more than listed.

Peter Pan - when did she play Peter ?

In the 1991 Spielberg film "Hook" she played the aged Wendy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vermont57 (talk • contribs) 02:41, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Francesco da mosta

Ah bless! I hadn't the heart to delete the entry under her personal life which states that Maggie is a good friend of Francesco da Mosta, though I'm not sure that I shouldn't have. Yes, I saw the BBC programme where Maggie appears from the statuary, replete with Baudaker, and is air-kissed to death by dear Francesco...but he said himself that she is mostly"...a good friend of his wife's mother." Should we also add that she is good friends with Judi Dench, or was pally with Kenneth Williams, or was even more intimate with Rod Taylor? Surely of much more interest....

Her filmography is incomplete- I added her role in The Honey Pot, but I believe there are others. Also, is the line "Her portrayal of Professor McGonnagall may be regarded as flawless." really objective or unbiased?

[edit] Her production list

Her production list is of very poor quality. She has done so much more than what is listed there. It'll probably end up being me who gets round to sorting it out, it always is - I'm constantly doing 20 things at once on this site... Lradrama 07:58, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Maggie Smith in London.jpg

Image:Maggie Smith in London.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] British

I have changed English to British as her mother was scottish. Besides techically there are no "English" and there hasnt been for over 300 years. British is the official nationality of anyone born within the United Kingdom. --Camaeron 13:27, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

English/Scottish/Welsh are commonly used on Wikipedia. Her mother is immaterial, she has birth and long residence in England. --UpDown 20:47, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rush Hour 3

Didn't she have a cameo in Rush Hour 304:02, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
