News about Robert Stephens

Maggie Smith (right) has passed away aged 89 years old today - 26 years after the death of her husband, British playwright Beverley Cross (both centre), who she continued to grieve and speak fondly about. The late actress first met the playwright when she was 18, saying that he was 'lovely' and, at 21, 'a bit older'. He had asked her to marry him and wait while his divorce went through - but in 1967, she had married actor Robert Stephens (both left), with whom Maggie had two sons. It was 23 years after their first meeting that the Harry Potter star and Beverley finally tied the knot.
