That is sad news. I didn't think that series would be of much interest to me but I borrowed the DVD set from the library for my wife and quickly got hooked on it.
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.
