For some reason, one of her lines that has stuck with me: “what is a weekend?” RIP lovely lady, the world was made MUCH better for you being in it!

FUCK. Again this pushes back on my philosophy of "Friday is a good day no matter what". RIP to that lovely lady.

This friday is a good day because you can celebrate the life of someone who brought you joy during theirs.

It's not the wrong one either. She did so many good roles, and celebrating them is a worthy end.

Just watched all seasons of Downton Abbey, finishing with the movie not an hour ago. If you’ve seen her final scene in that film, you know.

The woman seemed like a nice grandma to us all.

I was just watching her in a 1982 Agatha Christie movie. She was lovely in it.

Serious question. Why?
CmdrAdama
Worth a watch. Attractive, played a character with hidden depths. Good suspect for Poirot!
BDSMThroatHugs
I'm more interested in how you stumbled onto a movie like that from the 80s

Exactly 1 year to this day that actor Michael Gambon passed away as well... Sigh.

She was so good in everything she did. I always wished she had played Granny Weatherwax, she was perfect for it.

And either Judy Dench or Penelope Wilton as Nanny Ogg.

Oh yes to either, that would have been perfect.

First time I saw her in anything was Secret Garden. She will be missed.

THATS THE SAME ACTOR??? THIS WHOLE TIME???? i am appalled and ashamed at my own stupidity...
Sh4d0wM4nt1s
For me, I saw my mom watching that show and immediately recognized the actor.
MyDragonHeartedSpirit
Don't be! It means she was good at what she did, getting lost in a role so much that people see the character and not the actor.

Ok this is somehow even more embarrassing... I just now realized I have never seen the show from the gif and thought this was Olenna Tyrel from GoT 😅

Good. You should be. Fie. Now you can serve as an inspiration to the people, to show them that, in the presence of the dame of dames, all are humbled. Then arise to know her better in the future. She is delightful in Hotel Marigold. (Yes, I know, that's not the original title, but I have a character limit to work with here, give me a break. Now look at what you have made me do, I will only barely have space now!)

Don't feel bad, she's was amazing. I'm The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel she plays a racist old white lady and MAN did she nail it. I'm a huge HP fan and I definitely forgot I was watching McGonagall. One day before her 90th birthday. She was amazing.
Dellaaa
Great show!!! And yes she did nail it

Actually I should feel bad... Just now realized I was confusing the gif with Olena Tyrel's "I want her to know it was me" scene from. GoT 😅 I need to be removed from the gene pool holy shit 😂
