書籍簡介
從倫敦*著名西區劇院開始,瑪吉·史密斯爵士的道路已經走向國際,獲得無數聲譽和榮譽,包括兩項奧斯卡獎。她一直在熒屏上飾演舉足輕重的角色,《唐頓莊園》裏令人生畏的格蘭瑟姆伯爵夫人,《哈利波特》電影系列裏受人敬愛的密涅瓦麥格教授,《住貨車的女士》(改編自阿蘭·本奈特創作的同名戲劇)裏個性古怪的流浪老太謝波德女士。
但現實中,她仍然是謎一樣的人物,鮮少在公共場合露面,對自己的才華保護得小心翼翼。邁克爾·柯文尼的這部傳記以瑪吉·史密斯的個人檔案、採訪、與這位女演員的接觸,以及與直系親屬和親密朋友的對話為素材,生動地刻畫了真實的瑪吉·史密斯。
'Coveney is the only writer who could get under Smith's skin, capturing her steeliness and vulnerability' INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
From her days as a star of West End comedy and revue, Dame Maggie's path has led to international renown and numerous accolades including two Academy Awards. Recently she has been as prominent on our screens as ever, with high-profile roles as the formidable Dowager Countess of Grantham in DOWNTON ABBEY, as Professor Minerva McGonagall in the HARRY POTTER movie franchise and as the eccentric Miss Shepherd in the film version of THE LADY IN THE VAN by Alan Bennett.
Paradoxically she remains an enigmatic figure, rarely appearing in public and carefully guarding her considerable talent. Drawing on personal archives, interviews and encounters with the actress, as well as conversations with immediate family and dear friends, Michael Coveney's biography is a captivating portrait of the real Maggie Smith.
