Maggie Smith’s Kids: Everything To Know About the Late Actress’ Two Grown Sons

Dame Maggie Smith has two grown sons, Chris Larkin and Toby Stephens. Find out about the late actress’ children who both followed in their mother’s acting footsteps!

Toby perhaps got his biggest break when he starred as Captain James Flint in the STARZ series Black Sails, a prequel to Treasure Island set in the “Golden Age of Piracy” in the early 18th century. He was also cast as former Prime Minister Tony Blair in 2016’s The Journey and as John Robinson in the Netflix remake of the 1965 TV series Lost in Space, which ran between 2018-2021.

The London native married the New Zealand actress Anna-Louise Plowman in 2001 and the two share a son, Eli, and two daughters, Tallulah and Kura.

On acting, Toby told the Associated Press in 2015, “People kinda go, ‘Oh, you’re an actor because your parents are actors,’ and you kinda go, ‘Well no … I’m my own person.’ I totally have my own career and I don’t see why I have to sort of qualify that all the time.”

He added, “My mother’s the same, she’s like, ‘Oh god, you’ll be stuck with that all the time.’ But at the same time, I’m immensely proud of her. I adore her and I adore her work. I’m staggered by it.”
