Beautiful Vintage Black and White Photos of a Young Maggie Smith in the 1960s

In 1962, Dame Maggie Smith (Margaret Natalie Smith) won the first of six Best Actress Evening Standard Theatre Awards for both of her performances in The Private Ear and The Public Eye. A permanent fixture at the Royal National Theatre during the 1960s, she was largely well-known for playing Desdemona opposite Sir Laurence Olivier in Othello, the role which also earned Smith her first Oscar nomination in the 1965 film version.
