One particularly memorable tribute to Smith has come from her First Wives Club co-star Bronson Pinchot, who recalled falling in love with her during an unexpected encounter.

She won two Academy Awards, five BAFTAs, along with Tony and Olivier Awards.

But she has also left those who knew her with cherished memories of a friend and idol. Bronson Pinchot remembers falling in love with Maggie Smith filming ‘First Wives Club’ in an unexpected way FIRST WIVES CLUB starring Maggie Smtih and Bronson Pinchot / Everett Collection The First Wives Club was released in 1996 and, in addition to Smith and Pinchot, starred Bette Midler, Goldie Hawn, and Diane Keaton. Bronson recently recounted first meeting Smith, which was love at first sight with a comical twist. “No one introduced us; they just sat us together,” Pinchot shared with People of how he and Smith first worked together at “a funeral-home set” while filming. “I started to tell her that her performance as Desdemona in Othello had moved me so much I had to be literally carried out of the movie theater.” Whatever reaction Pinchot expected, Smith did not give it. Instead, “She picked up her clutch purse and crisply whacked me with it, saying sweetly but firmly, ‘We’ll have none of that.'” He added, “I had loved her as an artist, but from that moment, I loved her as a person.” Breaking the ice World Premiere of ‘The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’ / ImageCollect This first meeting left a lasting impression on Pinchot.

Bronson Pinchot in First Wives Club-min / Everett Collection “And it was the most affectionate, eloquent [moment],” he went on, “because what she was saying was, ‘Look, we’re equals here. … Oh, God, I just adored her.” Their unexpected friendship inspired Pinchot to look out for her when Smith retreated to her makeup trailer in tears because she had an abscess in her tooth and was not permitted to go take care of it. Pinchot launched into action, speaking with Scott Rudin, who wanted to find out who told Smith she could not go, and who personally brought Smith into a limo so she could go to the dentist.
