Whew!

Omg. My wife is watching "Dr. Odyssey", and I can hear the pitch meeting:

"It's 'The Love Boat' and 'ER', TOGETHER!"

My favorite Maggie Smith role is Constance, Countess of Trentham in Gosford Park.

The movie inspired Downton, and Dame Maggie is a standout in the powerful ensemble cast.

She's always great, but Gosford Park is fantastic.
