Jennifer Garner paid homage to her former costar, Maggie Smith , who passed away at age 89 on Friday.

'How lucky am I to have sat in quiet corners with Maggie and a glass of wine,' Bullock, 60, told PEOPLE just hours after Smith's sons Toby Stephens and Chris Larkin confirmed her passing. Maren Morris revealed how she has always loved Smith in such roles as The Secret Garden, Hook, Sister Act, Harry Potter, and Downton Abbey.
