If you asked Maggie, she wouldn’t list either of them. They may have made her an international star, but they didn’t provide the challenge she sought. Even costar Alan Rickman admitted that everyone on set essentially had nothing to do but react to whatever the main trio was doing. That didn’t keep her from giving her all to them. She even worked through painful breast cancer treatments to finish the Harry Potter series. The world, especially her grandchildren, thank her for it. Nothing has ever stopped her unbreakable will. It’s earned her friends in Ian McKellen and fellow dame Judy Dench. It’s also caused her to clash with equally strong personalities such as Laurence Olivier.

She’s always been a scene-stealer in everything she’s ever worked on. That’s why she’s not only a Dame but one of the most awarded actresses of all time. She’s already got a triple crown with Emmys, Oscars, and Tonys. She could become an EGOT If her singing talents ever earn her a Grammy. Maggie is humble and doesn’t seek fame. Acting is her first love, and the prospect of stepping away from it is a dark one for her. She’s been on stage as recently as 2019 despite worrying that her health may keep her from it. Maggie has no plans to retire in the near future. She’ll continue her work on Downton Abbey and take any other roles that come along.
