Yes, the writing was amazing, but Maggie Smith is a treasure. I can't imagine anyone playing this character better.
She has portrayed many wonderful characters perfectly. Professor McGonagall, Mrs. Medlock, from the Secret Garden, Granny Wendy from Hook, Lady Grantham from this. She is a beautiful and worthy Queen and one of my favorite actors.
I think everyone can agree that the Dowager Countess' lines were some of the most iconic moments of the show. She made the show so witty and funny, I love her! I find myself quoting her sometimes in my own life.
Yes, I love her and how she makes us think and laugh!
She is an absolute classic I think. She reminds me of my very English Mother. The British are so good at doing these programs I love watching it. 🎉 Ruth
@@mikeferreira2802 I love her and will miss her personality!
My favorite Dowager Countess quote is
"I'm not arguing, I'm explaining. " She is one of my favorite characters. Love watching her witty interactions with the cast. Maggie is amazing in Downton Abbey and wonderful in everything she does. Truly a gem!! ⭐️
Oh no!!! They left out my favorite line ...
"What's a weekend?"
I agree... "What is a weekend"? lol Can you believe there were ppl back than that didn't know what a weekend was.

Yes, both the lucky ones (didn't work at all) and the unlucky ones (worked 7 days).
I always imagine Julian Fellowes used to chuckle each time he wrote for the dowager. And Maggie Smith did such wonderful justice to the role ❤
Interestingly most of her lines weren't written by him
@@jakecavendish3470 interesting I didn't know that. Do you know who?
5:40- I just love the reaction she gives when Sybil gives her a witty reply to her comment
"Why does every day involve a fight with an American?" 😂
It's extra funny when you remember her daughter-in-law is American lmao.
*Dame. Maggie. Smith.*
National treasure 🙌🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾
Correction; *International* Treasure.
I couldn’t agree more 🙌🏻
So sad that her character died. With the upcoming season i cant imagine Downton without her.
❤❤❤ I love Maggie Smith. She is one and only.
Dowager countess...my fav character in Downton Abbey!
Just finished seeing Season 6 for the three times. I now think Downton was one of the best drama I’ve ever went through
She was a remarkable character
She does say what's on her mind lol love it
Rosemuuuuuund, you're addressing your mother, not the committee of the women institute, 😂😂😂😂😂 gets me every time,
How could the classic line "What is a Weekend" Not be included.
That line really highlights how different her life experience was from thst of the working class.
Seeing Sybil in these early scenes and Matthew 😢.
They left out her last funny line when she said "Quiet. I can't hear myself dying."
The Spanish version ( latin ) gives Maggie Smith a freshness, and more color to accentuate in her voice all that she expresses. It is a very special voice and ideal for a grandmother countess but with the best sense of humor.
Dame Maggie Smith was a national treasure ❤❤❤❤❤
The Dowager:
"Why is every day a fight with the Americans?" 🤣
Americans:...and we took that personally
😂😅
She reminds me of my grandmother so much...
Thomas has some witty comebacks as well.
They shouldn't have let her go. I can't watch without her. I watched her exit episode once. The rest, I watch regularly. Never again that one. 😢 I have always loved Maggie. I started watching because of her. You should see her in Quartet. (The 2012 movie. She was in 2 by that title). Amazing cast. Music was played by real retired performers in the movie.
She thought it was time. She deserves rest and relaxation.
That was her decision. She deserves some rest. She's already given so much. Nobody will ever replace Dame Maggie Smith.
@dawnstanley1733 I realize that. But I'd have sweetened the deal for her. Tried, anyway. Nope, idc how good an actress they are, she can never be replaced.
@@dawnstanley1733 Of course. But you know she won't retire. 😄
👏🏻 💯
The Dowager was undeniably one of the best characters in Downton it is such a shame to see her go. No doubts Mary will turn out just like her but we wont go into much detail about that 😂.
I hope in the 3rd film they go back to the style of the first few series as it focuses on Robert, Bates and Anna. Mostly Robert as i would like to find out about how he actually met Cora and how they fell in love a bit how they found out about the Dowager before she passed by going to the villa. Reason being i think it would show us a side of Robert that we haven't seen before and show us that apart from being serious and heartfelt he is actually really funny 😂.
If they go back to focusing on Bates and Anna i'd like to see them and there son (John Bates Jr.) and how they live depending on the time jump there son going to school and how they manage there life aswell as both working at Downton.
But that's just what i would like to see probably not going to happen but you never know! 😅
MAGGY Smith es Excelente!!!!!
I enjoy very much to see Downton Abbey it's so Classic to hear. I wish them all the Best.
Still funny in 2014 - some great stuff written by Julian Fellows and spoken by Maggie Smith !!
The waiter scence is hysterical!
Can't wait for it to return to our screens!❤
But it won't be the same without Maggi.😢
I love the Dowager Countess, she reminds me of my Nana.
3:42 The Dowager has a cat!!!!
I'm amazed there's still something new to discover even if we watched it 130456 times... And it's a cat nonetheless! 😍 It's a shame it didn't get any screen time, must be so cute if Violet was holding it 😍
also that scene shows her having a rigid teapot, probably an innovation and cost much at the time
I feel like the held back too much when Mrs Levy (Shirley MacLaine) came to visit. They could have been hours of back-and-forth.
Excellent compilation.
Dame Maggie is absolute treasure ❤
And then there's original Maggie Smith; "It's ridiculous! I lead a perfectly normal life before Downton Abbey, now... pfft the Fulham Road's gotten dodgy."
wait so her life was still normal during the Harry Potter series?
@@user-ix1rp9ff3p Apparently yes, although she said the shooting of Harry Potter was the most gruelling.
Mt favorite witty saying by Mrs. Crawly is when she says, "why is everyday a fight with an American?" lol
Mary and Granny 🤍
I was hoping for, "What is a week end?"
Why does everyday involve a fight with an American.
Looks at the news in 2024.... * long sighs with a 100km stare
😂😂😂...we never disappoint
Soo excited to watch DA tonight
Yes I should (THE SHADE)
How could you miss - What is a weekend?
This is better than the show!
I'm sure the writer was excited to write for Maggie Smith. She just has a way of making something of nothing.
No what is a weekend????
