I was on Tiktok and I found out that Maggie Smith (Professor McGonagall) survived cancer- I googled it and it's true. Here's what I found-

"Smith, who is now starring in “Downton Abbey,” is known and loved for her role as Professor McGonagall in Harry Potter. Smith is a cancer survivor, too; in 2007, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and she continued to film “Harry Potter and the Half Blod Prince” even as she underwent chemotherapy."

Maybe y'all knew this but I didn't- wow.

Yeah, Maggie Smith is pretty bad*** (in a good way of course) she’s a really cool person and a great actor. Also I read it was radiation therapy and not chemotherapy, but it doesn’t really matter.

Also I’m sorry if I sounded too correcting with the radiotherapy thing, and I’m not sure if I’m right anyways

I did know that! I think it's amazing how she pulled through though nonetheless!

What do you think?
