Angela Lansbury was a class act and the consummate character actress.
She won five Tony Awards and an Honorary Oscar.
Her show “Murder, She Wrote” ran for twelve seasons.
A suggestion for a good Angela Lansbury movie night. Check her out as an coquettish princess in Danny Kaye’s wonderful musical The Court Jester. Then see how effectively she could play a villainess in the original Manchurian Candidate. I think I might watch the movie that introduced her to me as a child: Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Requiescat in pace!
She was good in The Picture of Dorian Gray too.
She’s having lunch with Carol Channing in Heaven, now.
She was the definitive Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd,
