Dame Angela Lansbury

Loved Murder She Wrote with the typewriter in the opening credits. R.I.P. Angela.

It doesn't mean related, necessarily, just that a cousin had a friend who lived next door to someone who etc .....
Often it's more like three degrees of separation even with a seemingly unimaginable connection.

Apparently we are all only six degrees of separation!
Maybe.

Hi long lost cousin x

Apparently we are all only six degrees of separation!
Maybe.

I read somewhere today that Penny Mourdant is a relation to Dame Angela.

Thanks Georgesgran ?
So Keir what an alumni eh in the Labour school?

Oliver Postgate - Bagpuss, Noggin the Nog, Ivor the Engine, Clangers.

I read today:

“Dame Angela was born in London, the daughter of Irish actress Moyna Macgill and English politician Edgar Lansbury.

Her grandfather, George Lansbury, served as Labour Party leader in 1932-34.”

Who is/was Oliver Postgate?

Her roles were so many and ranged so widely, but Bedknobs and Broomsticks will always be one of the most lasting memories for me.

RIP Angela Lansbury

Did you know by the way that she was Oliver Postgate's cousin?

So sad. Yet she had a good long life.

I watched Company of Wolves last night in tribute. An erotic horror film based on a story by another Angela, Angela Carter, who also wrote the screenplay and died 30 years ago, much too young. Angela Lansbury played the granny quite brilliantly. That film came out in 1984 and she was no spring chicken then!

Great actress with a long and varied career. Angela Lansbury brought pleasure to many people.
RIP Angela

A good actress and a good socialist who campaigned to end violence against women and girls.

I loved her as Elvis`s mum in Blue Hawaii, so funny. R.I.P

RIP Angela. She was a lovely actress and I enjoyed all the films I saw with her in them. I seem to remember her in Mrs Harris goes to Paris, but that was a long time ago. Bedknobs and Broomsticks for us this weekend too.

Lovely actress. RIP xx

Very sad to hear this, loved her in all her films and shows, used to love Murder She Wrote

So sorry to read this. I love seeing her as a young woman, it seems such a long time ago, in Samson and Delilah.

Oh dear, a great lady reached a great age

One of our favourite family films is Bednobs & Broomsticks, will watch it again this weekend with the GC

RIP ??

Sad news. A true legend.

RIP Dame Angela
