Dame Maggie Smith, who plays Professor McGonagall in the Harry Potter series, has been battling cancer since 2007, yet she has vowed to “stagger through” the final film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
She’s surely a trooper!
“The cancer was hideous. It takes the wind out of your sails and I don├óΓé¼Γäót know what the future holds, if anything. You feel so ghastly, you wouldn├óΓé¼Γäót mind dying a lot of the time,” divulged the actress. “The last couple of years have been a write-off, though I├óΓé¼Γäóm beginning to feel like a person now. My energy is coming back. Shit happens. I ought to pull myself together a bit.├óΓé¼┬¥
Chemotherapy left her weak and ill, yet she pulled through the Half Blood Prince without any sign to the audience that she was ill.
├óΓé¼┼ôI was hairless. I had no problem getting the wig on,” she says. “I was like a boiled egg. The chemotherapy made me feel horribly sick. I was holding onto railings, thinking, ├óΓé¼╦£I can├óΓé¼Γäót do this.├óΓé¼Γäó├óΓé¼┬¥
The woman is unstoppable!!!
Hope she’s well and getting some well deserved rest!
