That character, the Dowager Countess of Grantham, really brought her to
the forefront for a lot of people who had never heard of her.  I
remember seeing her in the film 'The Prime of Miss Jean Brody' and later
some silly 1970's comedy called 'California Suite'.  She was also
apparently in the 'Harry Potter' series of films, something I never
watched.  I do remember her playing a Mother Superior [Nun] in 'Sister
Act' with Whoopie Goldberg and she was quite funny.

Check her out in the movie "A Room With a View" with Helena
Bonham-Carter.  She plays the tiresome friend always stating
'I'll never forgive myself' and is quite young in it.  Also,
"The Lady in the Van" and she's appearing as an older lady
which she was when it was filmed.
