A message from MASTERPIECE and our Executive Producer, Susanne Simpson: “The entire MASTERPIECE and PBS family are terribly sad to hear the news of Maggie Smith’s death. She was an icon and will be deeply missed by us personally, and by our audience who came to love her in Downton Abbey. She will be remembered by all of us for decades of memorable performances.” (Photo Credit: ALAMY/Carnival Films/Album)
