A special treat for you all this Saturday morning - the only picture I have EVER found of the Stratford production of Measure for Measure! (Although I haven't bothered to change the file name, so if you do save this picture, note that it's not from The Merchant of Venice).  |

Today a pic from "The First Wives Club" - Maggie's make- up, costumes and the decoration of "her dining room" are really something...*LOL*  |

Guniella Garson Goldberg. No body gets anywhere without Guniella's say so!
That fact that she still is awesome even with the extravagence is fantastic. Her part in this movie was small but I still found it great!

1991 Maggie was awarded the Shakespeare-prize by the city of Hamburg, Germany: At dinner in a Hamburg hotel, Dame Maggie Smith was pushing a piece of fish around her plate and sipping mineral water. She was tense. "You get involved in these things and wonder why on earth you did it."
The reason for her latest state of unease was her appointment the next morning in the Hamburg City Hall to receive the Shakespeare Prize, one of Europe's most prestigious arts awards, given each year to a British citizen and worth 10,000GBP. There is also a prize of 5,000GBP awarded to a student nominated by the winner; Dame Maggie Smith had chosen a final year theatre design student at the Slade, Laura Peckham, destined (who knows?) to follow in the footsteps of such distinguished former nominees as the designer, David Fielding, and the director, Sam Mendes.
The ceremony went off well enough and Dame Maggie punctuated her address with speeches from her favourite heroines - Shakespeare's Rosalind and Beatrice, and Congreve's Millamant, whose great 'proviso' speech to Mirabell ('These articles subscribed, if I continue, to endure you a little longer, I may by degrees dwindle into a life') both astonished the audience and summarised perfectly her current mood of caginess. (the pic is for private use only, I painted over the watermark...) |

Today's pic is from the play by Edward Albee, in which Maggie played the 92 year-old main character 1994/5 (so, again, she has been made 30+ years older than she was.....just 2 years after her Granny Wendy in "Hook"....Maggie said herself that her Wendy set a trend...) - but I like the picture anyway!  |

You have to admit she was a good Wendy though you know.
She always pretty and Maggirific (that is a copy righted phrase from me!) even when they make her older.

I'll try to alternate pictures from events, plays and movie-stills - so today a screencap from her small part as the haughty neighbor and mother-in -law-candidate... (this pic is from a deleted scene, because, once again, they cut the one in which Maggie looks the most beautiful...; and "No, I did nothing like recoloring, her eyes do look this way in the original pic!")  |

Oh I remember this scene! I have the DVD.
The way she sort of snapped the cards down was a little creepy. It's no wonder Jane was scared of her. XD

An event for today - one in Germany again *LOL*... Maggie attended the Film-festival in Berlin 2002, because Robert Altman got a Lifetime-Achievement -Award, so they did show "Gosford Park" and had a big reception for him...  |
