A pre post of sorts till I arrive home, but had to take a moment to honor two great Dames as they both turn 80. Dame Maggie Smith, today, and Dame Judi Dench, who turned 80 on December 9th. Judi Dench and Maggie Smith first shared a dressing room almost 60 years ago and their friendship has spanned the decades ever since ...
Dame Margaret Natalie "Maggie" Smith
born December 28th 1934
born December 28th 1934
"I believe that I am past my prime. I had reckoned on my prime lasting till I was at least fifty."
"I tend to head for what's amusing because a lot of things aren't happy. But usually you can find a funny side to practically anything"
"Speak your mind, even if your voice shakes."
Dame Judith Olivia "Judi" Dench
born December 9 1934
born December 9 1934
"I think you should take your job seriously, but not yourself - that is the best combination."
"Actually, what I miss are people corpsing on stage."
"There are very few things that surprise me"
"Sometimes nudity is gratuitous. We just live in a society where everything goes."
"The more I do, the more frightened I get. But that is essential. Otherwise why would I go on doing it?"
80 and still fabulous, I'd say!!!
