MAGGIE SMITH | 83

Maggie Smith is often referred to as an icon and a legend since she is one of Hollywood’s most reputable stars. You might remember this talented British icon from the Harry Potter Franchise as Professor Minerva McGonagall. Having acted for decades and making what we assume is a fortune, we hope she had time to create some sort of insurance and future plan when she decides to retire from the business.

She began her acting career as a teenager in the stage play Twelfth Night. Maggie first appeared in the 1956 film Child in the House and rose to international fame when she played Professor McGonagall starting with Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. As a result of her noble works in theater and cinema, Queen Elizabeth II turned Maggie Smith into a Dame way back in 1990, and in 1999 she was awarded the William Shakespeare Award for Classical Theatre in Washington D.C.
