John, please forgive me, this is WAY OT, but I couldn't help myself. A young 40 year old Dame Maggie as a guest on the Carol Burnett Show, as Gwendylspire Boughgrough in 1974. Dig the legs.

Wowza! As you say, great gams!
Note to the (possibly deceased) members of the writing team: "The King and Queen welcomes you--"
Really!!?? Talk about
lèse-majesté!!
And talk about OT! Odd Fact: Dame Maggie is one year
younger than Ms. Burnett!
Total Odd Fact: a friend walked into a restaurant near where I live (a restaurant which is half-owned by Justin Timberlake, of all people--weirdly, somehow, I
still haven't managed to get there myself) and who was sitting in the waiting area/ lounge off the bar, but looking, well, who
was indesputably--Carol Burnett!
Unfortunately, my friend broke the New Yorkers/Celebrity-in-Mufti Convenant, which is never but NEVER acknowledge a celebrity, ESPECIALLY in a restaurant
EVER (ok, he's a fan, but even so). He went up to her and said, "Oh Ms. Burnett--" and she, the utterly indesputably Carol Burnett, serenely (and a bit evilly) let him know that, no, she was
not Carol Burnett. And he had to walk away with his tail between his legs. As the young people now say:
Burn!!!
