THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE
Maggie Smith received her first Academy Award® for her portrayal of Jean Brodie, a headstrong schoolteacher at a Scottish girls’ school who breaks from the mandated curriculum to teach her students about art, love and other romantic ideals. Her free-spirited nature quickly runs afoul of the school’s headmistress, and she becomes entangled in a love triangle. Smith’s award-winning turn is a nuanced tour de force that stands as a hallmark in the canon of British performances.
