Toby Stephens, the renowned British actor, has officially announced that a public repass will be held in honor of his beloved mother, Dame Maggie Smith. The announcement comes after the passing of the legendary actress, who was cherished by millions worldwide for her exceptional contributions to theater, film, and television. Stephens, in a heartfelt statement, emphasized that the repass will be open to the public because Maggie always considered her fans to be part of her extended family.
“She often said her fans were the reason she loved what she did,” Stephens remarked. “She considered them not just admirers but part of her journey, part of her family.”
The repass, a gathering traditionally held after a funeral to commemorate and celebrate a person’s life, will provide fans with a chance to pay their respects and reflect on the immense legacy Dame Maggie left behind. Known for her unforgettable performances in works such as Harry Potter, Downton Abbey, and her extensive stage career, her death marks the end of an era in British acting.
The repass will take place at a location that held special meaning to Dame Maggie, and details will be provided in the coming days. Stephens invites all those who admired her work to attend, noting that it would have been her wish to include everyone in this moment of remembrance.
“She touched so many lives through her art, and this will be a chance for all of us to come together and celebrate her extraordinary legacy,” Stephens added.
