Not many coaches get to succeed where Jack Gibson has failed. Cheap Clippers Jerseys .Shane Flanagan can do just that - and boast one of the games great coaching achievements - if Cronulla claim their maiden premiership with a win over Melbourne in Sundays NRL grand final.Super-coach Gibson secured Parramattas first premiership success in 1981, and then made it a hat-trick of titles two years later just for good measure.Nicknamed The Guru, Gibson also ended a 40-year title drought at the Roosters in 1974 and threw in the 75 premiership as well.After his incredible success at the Eels, Gibson moved to the Shire for three seasons from 1985 to 1987 but even he couldnt deliver the Sharks their highly-sought after silverware.Cronulla qualified for the finals in the two years after Gibson left, but his longest- lasting legacy of his time there has been his immortal quote: Waiting for Cronulla to win a premiership is like leaving the porch lamp on for Harold Holt.Fittingly, Flanagan paid tribute to Gibsons long-time offsider Ron Massey for his guidance after Fridays preliminary win over premiers North Queensland.Consider what 50-year-old Flanagan has done to take his team from wooden spoon and ASADA ban ignominy to the edge of grand final glory in the space of just two years.It would have seemed nigh impossible in 2014 when he was serving his one-year suspension for governance issues from the clubs 2011 supplements program scandal.Sharks boss Lyall Gorman says Flanagan spent much of that time working on his approach to coaching.Shane came back after 12 months off, and a long time to reflect on where he was going and his style of leadership, and he has emerged as the figure we can all see now, says Gorman.There is his strong leadership, his exceptional man management skills, his passion for the club and the game and his vision for the future.Win, lose or draw he wont be satisfied on Sunday.His goal and my goal is to make this the club of choice in the NRL.He has absolute clarity about that and a great team around him.Flanagan is universally loved by his players and Gorman said he is very adept at the art of man management. Something Gibson also excelled at.He builds a tremendous rapport, Gorman says.He knows when it is time to be disciplined and strong and tough and knows there are other times when you can sit back and relax.He can take the heat out of the moment, put that anxiety aside. But he is very driven at the same time.Gorman, who joined the Sharks at the end of 2014, says Flanagan suffered before that from a lack of support.Our governance model and management model around the club has improved a lot and so no longer does it all fall on his shoulders.He probably felt back in 2013 a very large percentage of his club was on his shoulders.Along with skipper Paul Gallen, Flanagan has served as a figurehead for Cronulla through its toughest time, which including the suspension of 17 current and former players over the supplements scandal.The duo can lead the Sharks to their greatest triumph on Sunday.Since he came back (from suspension) he has been great, Gallen says of Flanagan.His recruitment has been really good.Obviously he got guys like Jack Bird and Valentine Holmes to be the players they are today.He has also set up a really good senior player squad, picking up guys like Michael Ennis and turning Wade Graham into the leader he is today.It has been a massive effort by him particularly after what he went through. Cheap NBA Jerseys .com) - Yankee Stadium is the home of the Bronx Bombers, but on Sunday afternoon it will open its gates to host the latest addition of the Hudson River Rivalry. Cheap Clippers Jerseys China .J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again. http://www.cheapclippersjerseys.com/ . MORITZ, Switzerland -- Fog prevented downhill racers from getting their Olympic dress rehearsal. Lewis Hamilton has questioned why the British Grand Prix started under the Safety Car, while his fellow drivers have criticised how long it stayed out.As with the Monaco Grand Prix, rain before the race meant race control felt it was too risky to start the race as normal. The pack was led away under the Safety Car, which then stayed out for six laps.Though Hamilton himself complained about aquaplaning in the early laps, he was heard saying Come on Charlie, lets go, before it came in, a message aimed at FIA race director Charlie Whiting.?I personally think we could have started from the grid, Hamilton said. For sure there were patches all over the place and it would have been tricky but thats what Formula One is all about. But then we did stay for sure far too long. It was pretty much intermediates by the time they let us go.It would have been fun. I think it was just as wet and there was more water on the track in 2008 [Hamilton won his first British GP that year] when we started from the grid so thats why I said that.Hamiltons comfortable race victory could have been very different, with the reigning world champion nearly running into the back of the slow-moving Safety Car at Copse.?I had glazed my rear brakes and they were low on temperatures. I was trying to pick up them, but the safety car was so slow, you cannot imagine. Our car is so fast, and you cannot see that well behind the safety car, I braked and the thing wasnt stopping, so I nearly hit the safety car. It is a first, fortunately I didnt.Not everyone agreed with Hamiltons opinion. Jenson Button thought the track was too wet for a normal start, though he said the Safety Car stayed out for much longer than was needed.It was definitely a safety car start, it was super wet, loads of standing water, Button said. But we waited a long time. The safety car should have come in two laps earlier.The problem is then everyone pits at the samee time so you cant do anything different [strategically]. Cheap Swingman Clippers Jerseys. Toro Rossos Carlos Sainz says the spray in the early laps was difficult for those running down the order.They played very safe, he said. The start needed to be behind the safety car because you could see absolutely nothing in the middle of the field. But two laps to see how the track is, see where the puddles are, then go for it.Ferraris Sebastian Vettel said the decision showed people do not have enough faith in Pirellis extreme wet tyre.?It depends where you are to be honest. I was looking forward to a start because it gives you a chance to move ahead. Obviously if you are in the lead then its a safe bet that you will stay in the lead when you start behind the Safety Car. Initially I think it was the right call initially to start behind the Safety Car because there was quite a lot of standing water in the first half of the track, whereas the other half was quite dry.I think to criticise its not really the call whether to start behind the Safety Car or not, I think to criticise is the fact that nobody has any trust in the extreme wets. So youd rather take a lot of risk going on to the intermediates where there was a lot of aquaplaning in the beginning, simply because its the quicker tyre. So I think weve mentioned a couple of times that the extreme wets are basically good enough to follow the Safety Car and then you want to fit the intermediates. So nothing has changed in that regard.The early Safety Car, and a Virtual Safety Car triggered by Pascal Wehrlein spinning off, neutralised much of the strategy around the grid. After switching from wets to intermediates around lap five, the drivers then took on slick tyres between laps 14 and 16, with the majority going to the end on that set of tyres. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '

ATLANTA -- Braves ace Julio Teheran doesnt mind missing out on a winning decision when Atlanta squeaks out a rare home victory. Tyeler Davison Jersey .Whenever I go out there, I just try to do my job and give the team a chance to win, just concentrate on that, he said. If I get the win Im happy with that, and if I dont get the win and the team still wins, Im happy with that.Chase dArnaud singled with two outs in the ninth inning off Gonzalez Germen and Atlanta beat the Colorado Rockies 1-0 on Sunday to avoid a three-game sweep.The Braves are just 14-36 at Turner Field and have baseballs worst overall record, but they snapped a four-game skid to Colorado.Following dominant outings through the seventh by Teheran and Rockies starter Jon Gray, the Braves used four relievers and the Rockies one before Germen (2-1) gave up Ender Inciartes leadoff single in the ninth.Anthony Recker bunted over Inciarte, who advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on dArnauds liner to left field.Teheran scattered three hits, walked one and struck out five. Pitching for the majors weakest offense, the two-time All-Star remained winless with a 2.90 ERA in 11 home starts.Teheran didnt allow a baserunner until Tony Wolters singled in the fourth. That was all Colorado could muster until Charlie Blackmon singled with two outs in the sixth.Daniel Delscaso was the third Rockie to get into scoring position with a double in the seventh. Cristhian Adames, the next batter, drew a four-pitch walk before Brandon Barnes grounded out.Conditions were tough with a 102-degree heat index.It was getting me at the end, but I was really focused in the game to give my team a chance to win, Teheran said. Im just happy the way we finished.Jim Johnson (2-5) gave up one walk in two-thirds of an inning to get the win.Gray, who allowed five hits and three walks in a career-high 115 pitches, stranded two runners in the seventh with his fifth strikeout. The rookie has a 3.11 ERA and 64 strikeouts in his last 10 games.The first couple of innings I was kind of trying to find my groove, but then I got going, Gray said. It was fun (going against Teheran). I was glad to keep us in the game.DArnaud went 3 for 5 with three singles. He credited Jace Peterson with drawing a walk to set up his at-bat.I swung right through the first pitch, a change-up, dArnaud said. I was early, so I had to make an adjustment from there. I wanted to shorten my swing up. I think because I was taking my time loading, I was able to react a little quicker with the fastball inside and square it up.TOUGH WEEKENDBraves 1B Freddie Freeman, who had a cancerous mole removed from his upper back earlier in the week, struck out four times, stranded three runners and went 0 for 11 in series.IN THE DIRT AGAINTeherans wild pitch in the sixth was the Braves ninth in the series.

Anton Roux will step down as coach of the Netherlands team to take up the role of assistant coach of Otago Volts. Cheap NBA Jerseys . Roux will be assisting Rob Walter, who was appointed early last month.I feel the time is right for me to move on and continue my career elsewhere. To be a part of a team that has grown from crazy young boys, into grown young men, husbands, and even parents has been special to say the least, Roux said. This experience, by far, outweighs any of our on-field successes, and has taught me a lot about how to manage the person before the athlete. As far as our on-field performances go, I believe our results speak for themselves, and I hope that the cricket world has enjoyed every single victory, and anguished, for every single loss, just as much as I have.Netherlands enjoyed a good run under Roux, who was in charge for 52 games. Netherlands won 36 and lost 16 of those, but more than the wins and losses, Roux will be remembered for pulling them up to No. 11 in the T20 rankings. I believe a T20 ranking of 11th in the world is something we should all be proud of. The quality of cricket in the world has risen so much in the last few years, and to think that Holland is 11th is quite staggering.Under Roux, Netherlands failed to qualify for the 2015 World Cup, but were a part of the World T20 in 2014, when they stunned England, and in the following edition in India earlier this year. As a young 35-year-old, to say that I have been to two World Cups as a head coach is an honour that I will forever hold dear to my heart, he said.Before he leaves the Netherlands set-up, Roux will prepare a report for the KNCB, the Netherlands cricket board, on domestic cricket in the country and the way forward. The report will also include his thoughts on the importance of preparing players to get them technically ready for international cricket. Cheap Swingman Raptors Jerseys .Y. -- Bills receiver Stevie Johnson has a bone to pick with the NFL schedule maker. Wholesale Raptors Jerseys .

After claiming pole position for the Austrian Grand Prix Lewis Hamilton called on the FIA to look at the kerbs of the Red Bull Ring following three further incidents on Saturday.Hamilton took pole in a chaotic Q3 affected by rain, a result made all the more significant following a gearbox penalty for his teammate and title rival Nico Rosberg after a heavy crash in FP3. That incident came after a rear suspension failure from the high yellow kerbs pitched the No. 6 Mercedes into the wall.?Further failures occurred in Q1, with Sergio Perez and Daniil Kvyat damaging their rear suspensions on the kerbs, the latter violently crashing out of the session.Asked about his thoughts of the circuit after qualifying, Hamilton said: I cant speak on behalf of all the drivers but for me looking at it those yellow kerbs look quite dangerous, weve now seen a couple of incidents already. I dont know how many more of those its going to take before a car ends up in the wall and someone gets hurt, so something we need to [look at]...The kerbs have been placed on the circuit to stop drivers putting all four wheels off the track, but Hamilton thinks that can be achieved another way.Im sure its something and the FIA are looking at, but thats definitely an area we can improve. I thiink the ideas good because they dont want us running wide and using the outside of the circuit, but maybe another solution is going to be needed. Cheap Raptors Jerseys Authentic. Hamiltons pole position only came after he nailed his final lap on a drying track to edge Rosberg to the quickest time in the session. The world champion explained how he took a big gamble on track position to nail the pole lap.Really fun session. One of those sessions that starts off dry,goes wet and quite incredibly here it dries off so quickly -- its like driving through fog at some stages. I think it just adds to the excitement of the whole thing. Id never driven in the rain here before, and being a new surface as well it was very, very slippery.It was drying up corner by corner and at the end it was about getting the last lap. The previous lap was a good lap as well but if I finished that lap I would have been right behind Daniel Ricciardo, so I backed off -- which is a big risk, obviously, because if I didnt finish my lap or there had been a yellow flag I wouldnt have been able to get pole. But thats a risk I took and fortunately it paid off, so Im very happy with it. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys ChinaCheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '

BCCI president Anurag Thakur has said he is against the idea of splitting Test cricket into a two-tier structure, ahead of an ICC meeting in Dubai next week to discuss the proposal. Cheap Broncos Jerseys . Speaking to ESPNcricinfo, Thakur said the proposal was fundamentally against the basic purpose and identity of the ICC.According to the proposal, which enjoys the support of the cricket boards of Australia, England, South Africa and New Zealand, the two-tier system would comprise seven teams in the top tier and five in the bottom. Afghanistan and Ireland, as the leading Associate teams, will join the three regular Test playing nations in the bottom tier.As the governing body of the game, the ICCs job is to popularise the game and increase its global reach, Thakur said. On the contrary, this system may be good for the top five countries, but apart from that, everyone else will suffer. On the one hand, we say we need to support teams like West Indies, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe, while on the other, by bringing up something like this, we will cut their legs.This is the third time in the past month that Thakur has spoken publicly about the BCCIs reservations on the subject. In early August too, he had reasoned it would hurt the smaller countries, whose interests the BCCI wants to guard. Last week again, he alluded to his opposition to the system on the sidelines of the two T20Is between India and West Indies in Florida.Thakur said the one big ramification, if the ICC was to adopt the proposed two-tier system, was that it would directly impact the smaller countries financially.Currently, these teams make good revenue from TV rights when bigger nations like India and other countries go and play against them. Their revenues will nosedive and they will struggle further to support their cricket at the grassroots level.Elaborating further on his stance, Thakur said that going by the logic of the two-tier system, marquee series like India v South Africa or England v Australia were top draws.And Bangladesh v England or Sri Lanka v Australia wont have that much support from the viewer. Just imagine if people are not watching a top team against a lower-ranked team, will they watch two lower-ranked teams playing against each other? This will further escalate the problem of viewers losing interest. At least today, when a so-called weaker nation is playing against a top-ranked team, exceptional performances are noticed, improvements are sought and benchmarks are set.But going by rankings alone, Thakur pointed out, would be turning a blind eye to reality. As an example, he provided Sri Lankas whitewash of Australia at home in the three-match Test series. In a game of cricket, no nation should be taken lightly. The recently-concluded Australia versus Sri Lanka series is evidence of that. Sri Lanka, who are in danger of falling under the tier two category, annihilated Australia 3-0. How would that have happened had there been no series between them? So, it cant be said that only top nations will produce top cricket.It is understood that apart from the support of some leading boards, the move to implement a two-tier system is being backed by one of the ICCs main commercial partners. Concerned about the fall in TV ratings in bilateral Test series, the system has been designed to enable more frequent marquee clashes that can generate more eyeballs, and, as a direct result, attract greater value from broadcasters. Thakur was unconvinced that a formula such as this could work in the long run.Commercial partners have a key role to play in the growth of the game, Thakur said. Their concerns should be addressed and we should give them a fair hearing. But, at the same time, we have to see that the administration of the game cannot be seen from the standpoint of the balance sheet only. There needs to be a balance and we need to look at the overall health and growth of the game.Dipping TV viewership of Test series is a cause of concern, but two big nations playing against each other all the time wont guarantee you viewership. The recently-concluded India versus South Africa series was a battle between two top nations, but the TV ratings didnt reflect the stature of the teams. The reasons for decline in viewer interest in Tests are far more complicated than what they appear. Changing the format of the FTP will be like applying band-aid to an issue that needs proper scanning and research. On one hand, we say we want to develop the game in new areas, and on the other, we are making top countries wealthier and the lower-rung countries weaker.We oppose the system despite knowing that it will result in a financial windfall for the BCCI if implemented. But, as one of the key stakeholders of the game, we cant be shortsighted and we need to take everyone along.According to Thakur, the proposal should have been discussed by a limited set of people instead of being deliberated at the board level. This proposal should have been discussed by a limited number of people before being brought to the ICC table, and, frankly, should have been rejected at the proposal stage itself. Our focus is to hand-hold and strengthen global cricket. As a leader, BCCI is clear in its goal to expand the game, make it popular in new areas and strengthen existing members as well.This kind of two tier system works very well to support domestic cricket or where you have a larger pool of teams and the staging state associations are supported by their parent body and are not under pressure to generate their own revenues, or in leagues where things are considered strictly from a commercial perspective. As the global guardian of the game, we should have a larger perspective and bigger objectives.Thakurs comments can be expected to resonate positively with the boards that will be directly impacted if such a system is implemented. Sri Lanka Cricket, for instance, already made its opposition to the split format clear in July, as have the Bangladesh Cricket Board. The West Indies and Zimbabwe boards, already battling financial troubles, are also unlikely to back any move that will dent their bottom line further. Cheap Brandon McManus Jersey .

LOS ANGELES -- The health of center DeAndre Jordan was a major concern for the Los Angeles Clippers heading into Mondays matchup against the Phoenix Suns at Staples Center. Cheap Brooklyn Nets Jerseys .Jordan suffered what was initially diagnosed as a sprained right thumb in the third quarter of Sundays 88-75 win over the Utah Jazz.Jordan, who was in noticeable pain, went to the bench and was treated by a trainer before returning to play almost five minutes in the fourth quarter. He finished with seven points and 16 rebounds in 28 minutes.Jordan was examined more extensively Sunday night. The Clippers said an X-ray was negative, meaning Jordan does not have any broken bones.I was worried because I saw the swelling in his hand, Clippers coach Doc Rivers said after the game. When its that quick, thats never a good thing. Then, he went back in and I started feeling a little bit better.The Clippers (2-0) have relied on Jordan, their defense, rebounding and key contributions from their bench to start the season well. They limited the Jazz to 39.7 percent shooting and enjoyed a slight edge in rebounding (49-43), an area the Clippers were lax in last season.Weve just got to continue to grow and continue to defend, said backup guard Austin Rivers, who delivered a game-high 19 points against the Jazz.Reserve forward-center Marreese Speights, who joined the Clippers as a free agent after three seasons with the Golden State Warriors, has come up with crucial plays in both of the teams victories. After scoring 15 points in the season-opening triumph over the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday, Speights drew four offensive fouls against Utah.The Suns (0-3) will continue charging toward a win. Sundays 106-100 loss to the Golden State Warriors came on the heels of setbacks to the Oklahoma City Thunder and Sacramento Kings.The wins are going to come this season, said forward T.J. Warren, who had 26 points against the Warriors and has been one of the early surprises for the Suns.Warren is averaging a team-best 22 points per game with seven rebounds. He scored a career-high 30 against the Thunder.So were not worried; weve just got to continue to play hard. My teammates are doing a good job of finding me and I just have to stay aggressive Warren said.The Suns also have injury woes.Guard Devin Booker, who showed much promise last season by scoring 13.8 points per game in his rookie campaign, is nursing a sprained big toe. Booker got hurt in Fridays loss to the Thunder. He was bothered by the toe against Golden State, managing just seven points on 3-of-12 shooting.Devins tough, Suns coach Earl Watson said. But if you watch him, hes been limping around a lot. He has no excuses, but we need him to be efficient and he has to be healthy to be efficient.Eric Bledsoe, a former Clipper, is off to a solid start. Bledsoe is averaging 16 points and 5.7 assists per game.Phoenixs Tyson Chandler remains one of the NBAs top defensive centers, averaging 12.7 boards per game. Cheap NBA Jerseys .

Maggie Smith sur les pressions d'agir

C'est FRESH AIR. Je suis Dave Davies pour Terry Gross, qui est sorti cette semaine. Notre invité aujourd'hui est l'actrice britannique Maggie Smith, qui travaille depuis un demi-siècle et est apparue dans plus de 50 films. Elle est parmi les artistes les plus performants à avoir remporté la meilleure actrice et meilleure actrice au Oscar. Ces honneurs, pour 'The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie' et 'California Suite', remontent à 1970 et à '79. Mais Maggie Smith est devenue mieux connue du public américain ces dernières années pour jouer au professeur McGonagall dans les films' Harry Potter ' Et pour sa scène de voler des spectacles comme la comtesse douairière dans la série Masterpiece 'Downton Abbey', qui termine sa dernière saison le 6 mars. Dans cette scène,van cleef & arpels bracelet imitation, Bennett, joué par Alex Jennings, vient de dire à Miss Shepherd, joué par Maggie Smith, Il a décidé de laisser son parc dans son allée.

(SOUNDBITE DE FILM, 'LA DAME DANS LA VAN')

SMITH: (comme Miss Shepherd) Pas pratique pour vous? Pratique pour moi, vous ne me faites pas une faveur,imitation bracelet alhambra, vous savez. J'ai d'autres poissons à frire. Un homme sur le trottoir m'a dit que si j'allais au sud de la rivière, je serais accueilli à bras ouverts.

JENNINGS: (Comme Alan Bennett) J'allais lui faire un bon tour, mais comme toujours, ce n'était pas sans pensées à l'étranglement.

DAVIES: Eh bien, Maggie Smith, bienvenue sur FRESH AIR. C'est génial de vous avoir.

DAVIES: Parlons de l'exécution du rôle de Mary Shepherd, la dame de la camionnette. Alan Bennett, qui l'a laissée vivre dans son allée pendant 15 ans et la fourgonnette a été remplie de sacs en dessous.

DAVIES: Et elle ne l'a jamais vu et c'est très clair dans votre spectacle, elle ne l'a jamais vu comme une bonté envers elle.

SMITH: Je pense qu'elle n'aurait jamais remercié personne. Je ne sais pas si c'était parce que c'est dans quelle mesure elle a eu son existence qu'elle était tout à fait d'esprit. Je ne pense pas qu'elle pensait ou se souciait de personne. Elle était tellement j'imaginer tellement désespéré d'exister. Et alors, elle devait exister dans ce monde totalement séparé. Son intérêt principal semblait être Dieu. Je ne pense pas qu'elle ait pensé à d'autres personnes.

DAVIES: Avez-vous passé beaucoup de temps dans la fourgonnette elle-même?

SMITH: Il me semblait que j'avais passé beaucoup de temps pas nécessairement, mais certainement entrer et sortir, ce que j'ai trouvé assez difficile. Je ne sais pas comment elle a réussi. Je n'ai vraiment pas du tout parce qu'il était physiquement assez difficile d'entrer et de sortir.

DAVIES: Peut-être pourriez-vous décrire comment était l'intérieur de la fourgonnette.

SMITH: Eh bien, l'intérieur de ma camionnette était que c'était plein de toutes sortes de choses. Et il y avait une fille merveilleuse appelée Katie qui était sur le plateau,imitation van cleef and arpels bracelet, et elle trouvait toujours des choses étranges à mettre en place. Mais c'était indescriptiblement méchant. Et il y avait des oignons et des pommes de terre et de vieux boîtes de choses dans des boîtes en carton et des masses de documents d'écriture qu'elle avait. Elle a également eu un petit téléviseur qui a fonctionné pendant un certain temps parce que Alan Bennett lui a fourni l'électricité pour le faire. Elle avait donc ce long fil allant de sa maison à sa camionnette.

DAVIES: Vous savez, cela nous met en contact avec la dissonance entre la façon dont nous regardons les autres et ce qui se passe dans notre tête. Je veux dire, quand les gens regarderaient Mary Shepherd et votre personnage, ils voient, vous savez, un Femme qu'ils pourraient considérer comme une sorte de folle, déshabillée, et ne pas lui faire une seconde pensée. Mais elle avait évidemment une histoire et une vie interne. Pourriez-vous parler un peu de la façon dont vous avez pris sa tête? Ce qui se passait?

SMITH: Lorsque j'ai parlé à Nick Hytner le directeur quand je lui ai parlé pour la première fois, il parlait de la façon dont elle a joué au piano. Et il a joué cette belle, très triste Chopin. Et cela m'a donné un moyen de le faire parce que je n'avais vraiment pas pensé à cela tellement parce qu'il semblait dans le passé dans son existence, vous savez? Mais alors, pour réaliser qu'elle a étudié le piano et dans la mesure où elle Saviez-vous que Cortot était son professeur. Il était l'un des pianistes les plus brillants et les plus brillants joueurs de Chopin. Et cela m'a fait sentir en fait, cela m'a fait me sentir incroyablement triste de penser qu'il y avait tant de talent et de talent. Un cadeau génial qu'elle avait, et que tout cela avait disparu. Et je me demandais souvent si elle pensait à cela quand elle l'était, vous savez, isolé dans cette fourgonnette.

DAVIES: Ouais, elle était une musicienne talentueuse en tant que jeune femme, n'est-ce pas?

SMITH: Ouais, et sérieusement, vous le savez, un type de pianiste de concert.

DAVIES: Avez-vous tourné sur le film dans le même quartier?

SMITH: exactement le même quartier. Et c'était à l'extérieur, c'était la maison d'Allen, dont il possède encore. Il ne vit pas, mais il est toujours là. Donc,bracelet alhambra van cleef replique, nous étions exactement dans la même position, et il y avait, en effet, les gens et Vers le bas de Gloucester Crescent, où se trouve Camden Town, dans le nord de Londres, il y avait des gens qui se souvenaient d'elle et, je pense, probablement très nerveux quand ils virent cette petite fourgonnette arriver.

DAVIES: (rire) Je suis sûr qu'ils l'ont fait.

SMITH: Parce qu'il y avait des gens qui avaient parcouru toute la saga.

DAVIES: Vous savez, je ne sais pas si vous êtes le type d'acteur qui prend un rôle à la maison à la fin de la journée. Mais je me demande quel être dans ces vêtements jour après jour et jouer ce type de personnage si vous avez senti que cela vous a changé de quelque façon que ce soit.

SMITH: Cela l'a rendu impossible, très honnêtement, parce que vous filmer le film venez la pluie, venez briller, venez tout. Et il pleuvait beaucoup. Et bien sûr, c'est ce qu'elle doit avoir traversé. Bien sûr, il a plu, bien sûr, il faisait froid. Je ne suis que sans voix sur sa ténacité et la façon dont elle a réussi à le faire. Mais, vous savez, il était vraiment difficile d'être là-bas sous la pluie. Ensuite, elle a fini avec, vous savez, des bâtons et des choses, puis un fauteuil roulant. C'est méfiant. Elle a dû avoir une telle détermination. Je veux dire, passer à travers le tir a été assez dur. Mais vous avez parlé de faire passer des années, des années et des années incroyables.

DAVIES: Nous parlons avec Maggie Smith. Elle est vedette dans le nouveau film 'The Lady In The Van'.

Eh bien, nous devons parler de 'Downton Abbey', qui vient d'être très populaire aux États-Unis et en Grande-Bretagne. Comment ce rôle de la comtesse douanière est-il venu à vous?

SMITH: Eh bien, je soupçonnerais parce que j'avais fait 'Gosford Park', un film que Julian avait écrit que Robert Altman avait dirigé.

DAVIES: Julian Fellowes, ouais, qui a créé 'Downton Abbey'.

SMITH: Oui, Julian Fellowes. Et je ne me souviens pas quand c'était. Je suis désespéré, tout ce que je sais, c'est que le temps passe trop vite. Cela fait longtemps.
