Angela Lansbury, a versatile actor who wowed generations of fans as a murderous baker, a singing teapot, a Soviet spy and a small-town sleuth among a host of other memorial roles, died on Tuesday, her family announced. She was 96.

“The children of Dame Angela Lansbury are sad to announce that their mother died peacefully in her sleep at home in Los Angeles at 1:30 AM today, Tuesday, October 11, 2022, just five days shy of her 97th birthday," her family said in a statement.

Lansbury won five Tony Awards, most recently in 2009 for best featured actress in a play for her work in Noel Coward’s “Blithe Spirit.”



Her best known work on the Great White Way was probably as ghoulish pie maker Nellie Lovett, in “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.” She cooked up a Tony for best musical actress in 1979 for that role.

My first memory of seeing her was in the movie The Manchurian Candidate. Boy that dates me.   Such a talent.    R.I.P.

My favorite scene in the Angela Lansbury version of the Manchurian Candidate. Well deserved outcome for her.

Though Lansbury was only two years older than Laurence Harvey in real life, Harvey played her son in the Manchurian Candidate.

I remember an interview she did long ago about not getting some parts because she “looked” older than character she wanted to play. But she said it was ok with her. She got really good parts, rolls, etc by looking older. Classy lady.

That’s why I loved this movie. Totally unexpected ending. My kind of movie to this day!

I wonder if this still works:

I have a feeling it would for some.     Or how about a game of solitaire.
