she is such an elegantly marvelous woman, brilliant actress up to legandary level of course and I am so attracted to the way she speaks English, so posh and like music to ears
Agreed. There's something about her speaking that just demands my attention. Though demand is too harsh and not quite right. Captures? Captivates? Yes. That fits better. I was doing another project, and gradually put it down to focus entirely on the video. And very few other programs, if any, when watched in the background, inspire me to do put them to the foreground.
@@urmum.5580 This is certainly not Scottish accent. Nor is she from Scotland as far as I know. Her accent is really English. If you want to know a real Scottish accent, check Peter Capaldi. That’s Glaswegian accent Scottish for your reference.
I love her she is so humble and open about having the worst nerves and fear before and during her performances and filming. She is just so human and my inspiration
Was fortunate to see Maggie in numerous plays in London West End. Always magnificent and so much love for her from the London audience. It’s her vulnerability and elegance that gets you when you see her on stage. She will be misssed.
She has a unique beauty. There is no doubt about that. I've never seen her so young, some would say she probably looks gaunt, but she is very lovely and so British :-)
Maggie Smith is one of the best actresses of the 20th century, definitely the late 20th century. Today in America, we can't even recognize a decent actress because often the best actresses do not fit the very strict look that actresses need to have. It's unfortunate that we are disrespecting the art of the theater in this way. Maggie Smith, Agnes Moorehead, Bette Davis (who was not a looker!) are all examples of real actresses who were experts in their field.
Rest in Peace to you Dame Maggie Smith 1934-2024 She will be remembered as Professional Minerva McGonagall in all the Harry Potter Films & Other Films Such as Ladies in Lavender & all the films she's been in over the year RIP to you
@@Hannahxx1971 To be fair, that's a bit insulting to british people. Regional dialects have existed for centuries. Posh English (or 'correct' English as you put it) was created relatively recently in English's history for class reasons. Maggi herself has even said that at school she didnt get picked for plays because she was "too common". So like all people in those days who wanted to be in theatre/tv/radio she learned to talk 'proper'. BBC English is it's common name. So no, her way is not correct English at all, and to say so is insulting to people with wonderful regional accents. Go listen to some Shakespear performed in original pronunciation. Take care me lover! 😉
@@Killadey I don't know what comment of mine you are referring to, as the one I'm seeing is in no way an insult to anyone. My husband is from The Dingle in Liverpool and I was born and brought up across The Mersey, on The Wirral so I'm in no position to criticise anyone with a regional accent, nor would I dream of doing so. I particularly like the comment before yours... "... you snobby twat.." haha.. At least yours, although a little sarcastic wasn't offensive. My point was, that just because a person doesn't have an accent, for whatever reason, they shouldn't be ridiculed for being 'posh' as it is reverse snobbery and just as insulting as whatever twaddle you've incorrectly presumed I'm spouting. I was bullied for speaking 'posh', when in reality I come from a working-class family who struggled financially, simply because I didn't have a strong local accent. Yes, I've heard how Shakespeare would have most likely sounded and it certainly wouldn't have been R.P. ...in fact I'm fascinated by accents and dialects and did several papers on the subject of how the English language has changed over the centuries. Language historians found regional dialects in The British Isles have altered quite a lot in just the last hundred years or so, after finding long forgotten recordings of WW1 soldiers singing songs or sending messages home to loved ones (worth looking into if you're interested.. I'm sure it'll be on here). All the best 👍
@@linzieloo1Yes I agree, this comment didn’t age well (and was in poor quality when I wrote it), and I think she was a talented actress, incredibly witty and I will always remember her as The professor Mcgonagall. I wrote this comment 11 years ago and i have hopefully learned a thing or two since then.
