Ask me anything   Submit   An unusual girl with an unusual love for OPI nail polish. And Dame Maggie Smith is L.O.V.E. <3 \m/

I&#8217;m so totally going to make a Maggie/Tom Jean/Reggi music vid to this song (Broken Ice by Unbrellas!

If i could i would
i&#8217;d pull your ribs apart
like the bars on the jail cell
we&#8217;d make a clean break
i&#8217;d touch your racing heart
to control those anxieties
to calm you down
to stop you from pacing around
so let me do all the worrying
you know i&#8217;m so good at it
just like skating on broken ice with you
i&#8217;m treading lightly
i&#8217;m watching my step
this ship has sailed
our long moring walks
our shadows strateched out in front of us
the new born sun buring away at our backs
the words were formed and spoken in relief
just happy that the moments had been filled
so let me do the pretending
we will get better over time
just like skating on broken ice with you i&#8217;m treading lightly
i&#8217;m watching my step
this ship has sailed and we&#8217;re pushing away
always a song in your head
always unfailing, always lovely
but you never bother to sing
it&#8217;s like skating on broken ice with you&#8230;

"I was recently sent an amusing picture of a cat, as one is these days, and I showed it to [Maggie Smith] and she fell around laughing. And for the rest of the week it started every morning with ‘show me the cat again.’ So it’s now become my thing that I try to find hilarious animals to show round."

“And then there was Charlton Heston, a great movie star who thought he was also a great actor when — in (Frank) Langella’s estimation — he was a ‘piece of wood’. Langella says the Ben Hur star had such an enormous ego that he would always greet fellow guests at a party as if he was the host. 
Langella last encountered him at a dinner honouring Olivier. After the audience sat through a long speech from Heston that was effectively a homage to himself, Langella looked down to find his dinner companion, Maggie Smith, was squeezing his hand so hard her knuckles were white. 
When Tony Curtis said out loud to their table: ‘Doesn’t Chuck make great speeches?’, Dame Maggie replied with true Downton Abbey acidness: ‘Oh yes. He should never be allowed to do anything else.”
