Is Maggie Smith in "The Help"?

Question

So I was watching "The Help" the other day and I swear Maggie Smith is in it. (She played Professor McGonagall in Harry Potter if you don't know her.)

She has about two lines, which is why I think she doesn't show up on IMDB for "The Help." I swear it's her and it's bugging me to no end.

There may be some spoilers ahead.... So I think she appears in the part when Charlotte Phelan is explaining what happened to Constantine. And I think Maggie Smith plays the DAR president and asks Charlotte if she's going to put up with Rachel barging in when they were all seated at the table.

So for those of you who have seen the movie, do you think the DAR president is Maggie Smith?

Answer 1

Its Dana Ivey



Atlanta’s Dana Ivey (though she hasn’t lived here in years) contributes a more matronly version of the same thing in a cameo as the bigoted president of the local DAR, but even she seems unduly reined in (interesting factoid: Ivey was the original Miss Daisy in the original off-Broadway production, but lost out to Jessica Tandy for the movie).
