Can someone please delete my thread.

 

[rhythmbandit]

what an absolute legend.

 

[Kate]

Oh that's a very sad one

Just let out an audible no when I got the news notification

I absolutely adored her. Totally gutted.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Loved her in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and the Lady In The Van.

Snap.

I had no idea she was close, other than her being very old. She seems to have been OUT AND ABOUT fairly recently.

GUTTED

 

[Indie]

Too soon

Oh this has hit me hard.

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie might be my favourite movie ever.

How shocking can the death of an 89 year old be?

But still,

I think because she basically played ancient crones almost exclusively from her late forties on, she did weirdly feel somewhat eternal.

I couldn’t believe she was in her mid 50s in Hook!

 

[K.C.]

Aww RIP. What a career. What talent.

Name a more iconic actress.

 

[Star]

Oh no Professor McGonagall

 

[ButterTart]

She seemed basically immortal, so this is devastating

 

[jivafox]

What an icon.

Loved that this little moment was doing the rounds recently too

Oh no. I loved her! What a phenomenal actress with such an eclectic range. May she rest in paradise.

sad

 

[VoR]

Inspired one of the all-time great Snatch Game performances as well…

 

[Rita]

She always seemed to have played parts much older than her age from the 80’s/90’s. Obviously more recently she has been old, but even in Downton I think she was playing a part of a woman in her late 90’s?

 

[Rita]

I see VoR has already covered that. I agree she did seem like she would go on forever.

 

[Rita]

I was holding out hope she would make an appearance in the new Sister Act. I think she would have had to be eternal for that to come true.
