The acclaimed actress says she’s never watched Downton Abbey. Why not? “Because it’s frustrating. I always see things that I would like to do differently and think, ‘Oh, why in the name of God did I do that?’” It looks like Smith, who says she’ll watch “when it’s all over” is more than a match for Steve Kroft in the 60 Minutes interview that airs Sunday. Asked about her reputation for not suffering mediocrity, she says “You’re trying to say that I am what everybody says… I’m scary and I understand that totally. Old people are scary and I have to face it, I am old and I am scary and I am very sorry about it but I don’t know what you do”. Indeed.

God damn she is awesome. I have always like her
Too bad Kroft didn’t throw the same hard stuff when when he interviewed the President.
Smith has two Oscars, can deliver a punchline like few others and is instantly endearing to viewers, no matter how caustic her character: if she has an ego, then she’s earned one through half a century of great work.
maggie smith is magnificent. She totally disarms you with her flawless and superb acting. every time i see her i am enthralled.
Maggie Smith’s demeaner is perfect for the part in Downton Abbey. Even though caustic – always proper. Humour in a devine manner. Honesty to be depended on. Love her character!
I will watch anything Maggie Smith is in and am never disappointed. Her deadpan remarks cause me to laugh out loud every time.
