# Fact 1 The third Harry Potter film series cast member to die. 2 On screen, she appeared mostly in matriarchal supporting roles, often as indomitable dowagers (very effectively so in Jeeves and Wooster (1990)), spinster aunts and aristocratic ladies. She starred in her own, short-lived BBC children's series, Simon and the Witch (1987), playing the title role. 3 Spent much of her career on stage with the National Theatre (where she had a big hit as Madame Arcati in "Blithe Spirit", in 1976), and, after 1962, on-and-off for two decades, with the Royal Shakespeare Company. 4 A mezzo soprano, she studied opera at the Royal School of Music as a teenager. Her singing career was stillborn, however, due to an affliction with bronchial asthma. She consequently opted for an acting career instead, though her first position was as a teacher of speech and drama at Coventry Technical College. She gained her first acting experience with a repertory company in Stockport. 5 Though not as high profile a change as replacing Richard Harris with Michael Gambon , she too was replaced in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), by Dawn French . 6 Was nominated for Broadway's 1975 Tony Award as Best Supporting or Featured Actress (Dramatic) for "London Assurance." 7 Performed in Shackleton (2002) with Kenneth Branagh , both of whom were in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002), respectively. 8 The role of Chessene in Doctor Who: The Two Doctors: Part One (1985) was intended for her.
