Dame Maggie Smith admitted to being glad Downton Abbey was finally over in an interview with Graham Norton.
The 89-year-old actor, whose death was confirmed on Friday (27 September), made an admission about her Downtown character Violet Crawley to the BBC chatshow host during a 2015 interview.
Norton asked her: “Are you glad Downton is over?” Dame Maggie replied: “Oh yes, I really am.” She continued: “No, honestly she must have been about 110.
“It couldn’t go on and on, it didn’t make sense.”
