I wish her well. I've always loved her in everything I've ever seen her in. All the youngsters know is Professor McGonagall, but I think my favorite movie of hers was in Agatha Christie's "Evil Under the Sun," with Peter Ustinov, Diana Rigg, and James Mason, among others.

I've been a fan of hers for quite some time also. "Evil Under the Sun" was good (if memory serves). I also like her in "Death on the Nile" and "A Room with a View," which featured her future HP co-star Helena Bonham Carter. Good luck to her.

I always love when I recognize her or other Harry Potter actors in other movies.
For a minute I was afraid the post said she was dead!
Is her prognosis good? Oh I should read the link!
