- Smith, who has no e-mail address and hasn’t a clue about how to find her Internet Movie Database resume, totally missed the much-viewed online clip of her greatest Downton Abbey zingers from earlier this year that was titled (Bleep) the Dowager Countess Says. It is explained to her this way: “First you put someone in their place, then you ring the bell, then you stare and sigh, then you deliver another putdown.” Her reaction: “Who would put that online? Who would assemble it?”
- She never understood the popularity of her Downton Abbey inquiry, “What is a weekend?” Smith explains: “It’s a good line, but I never thought it was that funny.” Her favorite? “Put that in your pipe and smoke it,” which was her signoff after rival Isobel (Penelope Wilton) accused her of meddling in the romantic affairs of her son.
- Talk of a sequel to The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel has Smith puzzled. “I heard that and thought, ‘It would have to be in a funeral home.’ We are all in an old people’s home. Where else would you put the sequel?”
