Maggie Smith---funny without even trying to be!

queenjulialovesmaggiesmith:

- 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?”

Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows (1968)

…in other movie-news, I just saw Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows (the 1968 sequel to The Trouble with Angels) and I loved it!! It helps that Rosalind Russellis great at playing a nun, and I am one of her biggest fans! Groovy family movie! Better than the first, in my opinion.

Lucille Ball + Shari Lewis = Reba McEntire!

Okay, so who else thinks that as an actress and icon, Reba is like a cross between Lucille Ball and  Shari Lewis? I do! She also reminds me of someone I knew, esp. in her show! I just love her! And, she has a lot more in common with them than just looks—-they are all known for their humor as-well!
