That didnt come up on my search which I did a few minutes before I started the thread. Puzzling. 

You've got to use quotation marks when searching for thread titles, otherwise the search engine only looks at the posts within the thread and not the thread title itself. As you can see, none of the posts that were in the old Maggie Smith thread actually mentioned her name, hence why you couldn't find her thread.

 

So in future, make sure to place quotation marks around your search terms whenever you're trying to find out if a person already has their own thread.

But I haven't done that with other searches which have shown up thread titles (the search facility allows that option) and the thread titles for various people have shown up without quotation marks and hence I've seen that a thread already exists so haven't then started another one. 

Back in April I looked up a couple of Hollywood legends and thread titles appeared.

Alright, I may have been talking bollocks.

 

The behaviours of that search engine seem to elude most of us here, myself included. Sometimes it seems to work perfectly, whilst other times it decides to be awkward and consequently make you look like a right numpty. Anyhow, I wouldn't worry too much about these things, as long as you've made some effort to look beforehand, which you obviously did.

Don't worry I certainly wasn't suggesting you were talking bollocks or being hostile towards you. 

I will still use the search engine to try and double check but with an understanding it's a bit fallible and floored.

Who is she?

 

Mugabe displaying signs of memory loss and confusion here. Maybe he will be number 9. 

[Bibliogryphon 9,564]

When she dies there better not be any headlines that start "Harry Potter actress..."

[Spade_Cooley 9,513]

Around these parts she'll always be "Murder By Death actress...."

 

Speaking of which, I believe she's one of only three castmembers from that film still with us.

A belated Happy Birthday to the brilliant Dame Maggie Smith who turned 85 yesterday.

Couldn't find any dramatic news about Dame Maggie, so happy 86th birthday!

I hope she will reach 100 years and more!

As much as I would enjoy to see her reach 100 (she’s such a sweet lady) i doubt she will...

Dame Maggie Smith at King Charles Coronation today.

 

 

She looks a bit frailed and not in very good healthy ... but she is 88 so this could be natural.

A tad wrinkly and crinkly but nowhere near the point of smelling badly on Ruth Langsford's Insta.

Apple TV has a new show (?) out called "TV with the dames". Judging from a clip, it's Maggie Smith, Judi Dench and Joan Plowright having tea:

Edit: I'm on mobile and cant post the video immediately, maybe somebody else can do it.

It's a BBC show from 2018 with a different name.

 

For what it's worth, the other three (Eileen Atkins is the fourth) were concerned about Joan Plowrights health back then!

Ah okay, well, those Twitter comments fooled me.
