Such a loss! Her career not only spanned decades, but it's interesting that one of the first films that brought her to prominence was playing an unconventional woman in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, whereas some of her last roles were upholding proper standards in Downton Abbey and Harry Potter. That is, if a witch could be said to be prim! I feel like we're losing all the old-school actors!

I think it's the suddenness of it that is shocking, as she's been working so much in the last few years. However she was almost 90, so she's definitely had a good run.

Gone but not forgotten and never will she be forgotten, as Ron Weasley once said, "Bloody Brilliant."
