Maggie Smith – Family Time in Malibu

Many people may know actress Maggie Smith as Aunt Ruth, the role she played in the 2021 film “A Boy Called Christmas.” Others know her as Violet Crawley in “Downton Abbey” or perhaps as Professor Minerva McGonagall in the “Harry Potter” film series. Her flexibility demonstrates that she offers her best performance in each character she plays.

Aside from her work, Smith had two unsuccessful marriages, including one with the gentleman in this May 1971 photograph, Robert Stephens. Toby Stephens, who portrayed a villain in the Bond film “Die Another Day,” is on his father’s shoulders, and we think the other is actor Chris Larkin.
