    She absolutely always had the best, most exquisite dialogue lines in the Downton Abbey TV series,  and always delivered them perfectly.  A brilliant talent. And a life well lived.

    I have admired her work for decades. She seemed to get better and better as time went on. A real shame, but a life full of achievements. Regards, Richard.

    The first movie I saw her in was the original 1981 Clash of the Titans where she played the goddess Thetis, mother of Calibos, and the main antagonist of the movie. Rest In Peace.

    I first saw her in 1991's Hook, and she already looked ancient in that.

    What a blessing that we have so much of her work to go back and enjoy any time we like.

     

    ...what a sorrow that there will never be more.

    While browsing through YouTube yesterday (Friday), I happened to catch a live stream from "Rix Flix" in Universal Studios, Orlando, where social media had called a "Wands Up" gathering.  By time Ric arrived, there were several hundred people packed into the area in front of Hogwarts Castle, and by time of the scheduled 7:00 PM tribute there was probably a thousand.  Many with wands.  When the magical moment arrived, a thousand wands, or at least fingers, were pointed up into the sky for a minute.  And then the crowd dispersed.  Sort of a minute flash mob.  Link above is about 3 minutes before the momentary tribute.cool  Several minutes before the event, Ric was closer to the castle and you could see some of the cul-de-sac area directly in front of the castle that was also packed.
