Brittiläinen näyttelijä Maggie Smith, tunnettu rooleistaan Harry Potterissa ja Downton Abbeyssä, on poissa. Muistellaan hänen upeita hetkiään ja legendaarista uraa!
Elämme surullisia aikoja, kun saamme kuulla, että legendaarinen brittiläinen näyttelijä Dame Maggie Smith on menehtynyt 89-vuotiaana. Hänen perheensä ilmoitti asiasta hiljattain, ja koko maailma muistaa häntä rooleistaan, jotka ovat jääneet ikuisesti eloon, kuten Professor McGonagall Harry Potter -elokuvissa sekä arvostetun Dowager Countessin rooli Downton Abbeyssä. Maggie ei ollut pelkästään näyttelijä, vaan myös kulttuuri-ikoni, joka tarjoaa meille lukuisia unohtumattomia hetkiä näyttämöllä ja valkokankaalla.
Maggie Smithin uran huipentuma syntyi yli kuuden vuosikymmenen aikana, kun hän voitti kaksi Oscar-palkintoa, useita Emmy- ja Tony-palkintoja, sekä sydämiä ympäri maailmaa. Hänet tunnettiin terävästä älystään ja kyvystään esittää monimutkaisia hahmoja, oli kyse sitten komediasta tai dramasta. Hänen roolinsa ”Miss Jean Brodie’s Prime” teki hänestä nimekkään, mutta se ei ollut ainoa syy, miksi jokainen tuleva sukupolvi oppi tuntemaan hänen nimensä. Viimeistelynä Maggie oli yksi niistä harvoista näyttelijöistä, jotka saattoivat kulkea kadun varrella ilman, että heitä tunnistettaisiin – vaikka he olivat palkittuja mestareita.
Vuosien saatossa Maggie Smith erottui muista näyttelijöistä vierailuillaan erilaisissa elokuvissa ja sarjoissa. Tosiasia on, että hän houkutteli yleisön huomion rooleilla, jotka johtuivat hänen taidoistaan ja karismastaan. Olipa kyseessä Downton Abbey tai romanttinen elokuva "A Room With a View”, Maggie toi aina omaa erityistä taikaansa kaikkiin esityksiinsä. Sen lisäksi, että hän voitti monia palkintoja, Maggie Smith on myös jäänyt historiaan ikonisena hahmona, jonka ääni ja älynväläys ovat syvästi vaikuttaneet näyttelijätaiteeseen.
Hänen poismenonsa jättää tyhjää paitsi hänen faneilleen, myös koko elokuvamaailmalle. Uutiset hänen kuolemastaan johtavat monia miettimään, mitä lisätään suurien näyttelijöiden listalle, joita olemme menettäneet. Samalla voimme kuitenkin iloita siitä, että hänen edustamansa taiteen muodot ja ikimuistoiset roolit elävät yhä vahvoina. Tiesitkö muuten, että Maggie Smithin rooli Professor McGonagallina - tuo tiukka mutta rakastettava kouluopettaja - teki hänestä nuorten ikonikuvan? Ja mikä hauskinta, hän kykeni esittämään rooleja, joiden ikähaarukka vaihteli nuoresta naisesta arvokkaaseen vanhukseen, ja hän teki sen aina oman ainutlaatuisen tyylinsä mukaan!
