Before she was Downton Abbey’s imperious Dowager Countess Violet Crowley and Harry Potter’s Professor Minerva McGonagall, Maggie Smith was already a renowned two-time Oscar winner and Tony winner. Turner Classic Movies salutes the actress, who died September 27 at 89, with a prime-time lineup of movies, most notably her Oscar triumph as Best Actress in 1969’s Miss Jean Brodie (at 10/9c), as a maverick teacher at a Scottish girls’ school. Other films include her movie debut in the 1958 crime drama Nowhere to Go (8/7c), and her Oscar-nominated performances as the eccentric title character in 1972’s Travels with My Aunt (midnight/11c) and in Merchant-Ivory’s 1985 A Room with a View (2 am/1c).
