Did we wish Maggie Smith a Happy Birthday?

78 today. Still showing younger actresses how to work it. Maggie and Michael Caine were so hilariously funny in an otherwise not-so-good "California Suite." "Screw me, Sydney."

• I thought she was in her 80s.

• I suppose we should all sing Happy Birthday to her. But that's such an American thing to do. I'll just send her my warmest regards instead. I do admire her work greatly.

• Just give me her son Toby.

• "Arlena and I were in the chorus of a show together, not that I could ever compete. Even in those days, she could always throw her legs up in the air higher than any of us... and wider." Great lines, perfect delivery.

  You're The Top, Dame Maggie!

• All the best Dame Maggie. You are in your prime. (i can't wait to read in the papers how they explain your hump)

• Love her. Amongst their other great performances, she and David Niven were so completely perfect in "Murder By Death", the film is still hugely entertaining after a dozen repeat viewings.

• Thank you, assorted homosexuals!

• You're most welcome.
