Famed British actress dead at 89
I know she did won an Oscar earlier in her career and later audiences saw her in Downtown Abby but I will always her freaking me out as Thetis in Clash of the Titans
She won TWO Oscars in a long career (1st film 72 years ago). She was fit enough to do topless scenes back in the day. Kids all know her from Harry Potter. She's a bit underrated tbh
"She received numerous accolades including two Academy Awards, five BAFTA Awards, four Emmy Awards, three Golden Globe Awards and a Tony Award as well as nominations for six Laurence Olivier Awards. Smith was one of the few performers to earn the Triple Crown of Acting.
On ageing
In 2016, Smith told NPR that as a character actor, rather than a "dish", she was able to age into roles as mothers and grandmothers while still developing her talents instead of losing them. The interviewer noted that Smith had, in fact, been called "an undeniable dish" by a reviewer while starring on Broadway in the 1960s."
