Tributes pour in for Downton Abbey and Harry Potter actor Maggie Smith, who has died at 89

Maggie Smith.

Dame Maggie Smith has passed away, and heartfelt tributes are pouring in for the late actor.

Though her career spanned some 50 years, Smith was perhaps best known by younger generations for her roles as Violet Crawley in Downton Abbey and Professor Minerva McGonagall in the Harry Potter film franchise. She also starred in the 1992 hit comedy Sister Act, the British romantic drama A Room with a View, and played Wendy Darling in Steven Spielberg's cult classic fantasy film Hook. Over the span of her career, she won two Academy Awards, five BAFTA Awards, three Golden Globe Awards, four Emmy Awards, and a Tony Award.
