In the 1960s she moved to the West End and, although she did not get on with Laurence Olivier, she began working at the Old Vic under his artistic direction. "Looking back – it's the only thing people seem to do now – it was fun," she recalled. "You'd do Othello one night, and Hay Fever the next, it was like going on holiday." As she alternated between Chekhov, Strindberg and Shakespeare (who, she confessed, was "not my thing"), her varied tastes came with a strained personality. "Maggie was not comfortable," said the playwright Peter Shaffer, who first met Smith in 1962. "She stood up and walked up and down the whole time, and would stay that way from 10am to 5pm. Other people were eating sandwiches, and there was this lone figure at the back of the stage, pacing back and forth like a caged creature. There was no concept of coffee breaks with Ms. Smith."

Smith's comedic gifts, her uncanny ability to weave lines with wry humor (perhaps a way of mocking her strict upbringing), began to attract attention. Honing her improvisational skills and timing in vaudeville, she was soon sent to New York by Broadway producer Leonard Sillman, appearing in the variety show New Faces of 1956. Her next two appearances on Broadway, in

Noel Coward's Private Lives (1975) and Tom Stoppard's Night and Day (1979), both earned her Tony nominations for Best Actress.

In 1967, Smith married the charming actor Robert Stephens, often considered the next Olivier. The couple had two sons, both now actors. It was a stormy marriage, rocked by Stephens's alcoholism and promiscuity, and shortly after the couple divorced, Smith married Cross, who had proposed to her two decades earlier. Famously private, Smith rarely gave interviews, but speaking to The Telegraph in 2014, she described the haunting pain she felt in the years after Cross's death in 1998. "People say it will pass but it doesn't," she said. "It just becomes different. It's horrible, but what do you do? After the busyness, you get lonelier, more and more. A day that's completely packed takes your mind off why you're lonely, but when it stops there's just deafening silence."
