At 21, she appeared on Broadway in a six-month run of collected bits written by then-newcomer talents like <a href="/people/210/000023141/">Neil Simon</a> and <a href="/people/953/000043824/">Paul Lynde</a>. She started her movie career with a series of now-forgotten films in the early 1960s, including Go to Blazes and The Pumpkin Eater. In 1969, she won an Oscar for The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie; she has also won a Tony, a second Oscar, three Golden Globes, and six BAFTAs (the British Academy Award). Smith is also remembered for A Room with a View, The First Wives Club, Hook, and Love and Pain and the Whole Damn Thing. Additionally, she has starred in many British films, doing fine work that often doesn't translate well across the Atlantic (Quartet, The Missionary, The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne, etc.). Younger audiences know her as the witchy Professor McGonagall in the Harry Potter films, the snooty Mother Superior in <a href="/people/242/000025167/">Whoopi Goldberg</a>'s Sister Act movies, the snobbish matron in Gosford Park, or the intimidating Dowager Countess on Downton Abbey.Father: Nathaniel Smith Mother: Margaret Hutton Little Brother: Ian Smith (b. 8-Dec-1928) Brother: Alastair Smith
