You feel so ghastly, you wouldn’t mind dying a lot of the time,” divulged the actress. “The last couple of years have been a write-off, though I’m beginning to feel like a person now. My energy is coming back. Shit happens. I ought to pull myself together a bit.” Chemotherapy left her weak and ill, yet she pulled through the Half Blood Prince without any sign to the audience that she was ill. “I 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, ‘I can’t do this.’” The woman is unstoppable!!! Hope she’s well and getting some well deserved rest! via PerezHilton.com oh. i didn’t know. while i love her as McGonagall, she also played Wendy in HOOK. i hope she’s well, too. and i hope she never stops! I just adore Maggie Smith, she’s wonderful. And clearly, a ballsy wench. Go Maggie go!
