Dame Maggie Smith (best know for playing Professer McGonagall in the Harry Potter series) has declared the show must go on after being diagnosed with breast cancer.
According to reports, the double Oscar-winning actress has had a tumour removed and has also completed a course of chemotherapy.
Friends described her as "typically brave and understated". One added: "The last thing she wants to do is to make a fuss about it." Dame Maggie, 73, insisted on completing her sixth appearance as Harry Potter schoolmistress Minerva McGonagall in Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince while having radiation therapy.
She is due to begin work on Julian Fellowes's film From Time To Time, an adaptation of Lucy M Boston's book The Children Of Green Knowe. Filming has been delayed, however, by several weeks to allow for her recovery.
A spokesman for Mr Fellowes said he expected to begin filming "within the next few weeks" but no specific date has been set.
