Remembering Dame Maggie Smith
Please indulge as I start my remembrance and tribute to the great, so classy, so appealing Dame Maggie Smith with a scene from “Plaza Suite.”
Next as so often, sadly is needed–so many greats have and will die, with precious little hope of anything near their caliber coming forth–NPR’s Scott Simon offers a wonderful tribute to Dame Maggie Smith.
Each of them better expresses the kind of tribute I, at best a singles hitter sans Cadillac, but with Quixotic causes, might manifest.
Into the world, she brought humor, pathos, beauty and sheer unadulterated class! Go have fun Maggie dear, you made my heart move and also induced laughter. Not easy, but you did so!

In listening to Scott Simon’s remembrance, some of the many other notable roles Maggie Smith “Damed” to us, are cited. Bless her and let’s hope!
