Britain's Maggie Smith, the double Oscar-winner who shone on stage and screen for more than seven decades, has died in hospital in London, her sons announced Friday, prompting a flood of tributes.
Britain’s King Charles III called her “a national treasure“ who was admired around the world. Paying tribute to her “warmth and wit that shone through both on and off the stage”, he posted a photograph of him sharing a joke with the actor. She won a best actress Oscar for the 1969 drama “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie” based on Muriel Spark’s novel, and best supporting actress for her role in the 1978 Neil Simon comedy “California Suite”.
Smith's marriage to heavy-drinking Stephens, with whom she had her two sons, collapsed in 1973 and they divorced two years later.Despite her serious acting reputation, Smith also appeared in lighter Hollywood hits such as 1992’s “Sister Act” and the 1993 sequel “Sister Act 2”. From 2001, her role as Minerva McGonagall in the “Harry Potter” films introduced her to a younger generation.
