Happy birthday, Angela Lansbury—still attractive at 96, novelist Paul Rigby said!
Angela, who was raised in Regent’s Park, London, by an English politician and an Irish actress, relocated to New York at the age of 15 to pursue a career in acting.
Angela was cast in her first movie part in Gaslight and The Picture of Dorian Gray two years after signing with Hollywood agents.
She received two Oscar nominations and a Golden Globe Award for her performances.
Angela went to Cork, Ireland, in 1970, where she continued to play parts in movies and television shows, including Bedknobs and Broomsticks, in 1971.
For her part as author and sleuth Jessica Fletcher in the whodunit series Murder, She Wrote, the British actress is best known.
The series began airing in 1984 and ran for 12 seasons before being ended in 1996.
Along with her TV work, Angela voiced Mrs. Potts, the teapot, in the Disney version of Beauty and the Beast in 1991, and she portrayed The Dowager Empress Marie in Don Bluth’s Anastasia in 1997.
When discussing her swift rise to fame as a cast member of the detective show, Angela admits that it was her portrayal of Jessica Fletcher that helped her garner a loyal fan base and 12 back-to-back Emmy nominations.
“I instantly became a globally recognized character as Jessica Fletcher and truly established an incredible audience, which I still have today,” she claimed.
According to her, “it was the thing that truly made me a star in everyone’s minds,” she told The Guardian.
The star called the title “Murder, She Wrote” a “mistake” and said that she was hesitant to refer to the revival of the popular detective series by that name.
However, NBC announced that their intentions to relaunch the CBS drama had been dropped a year after the idea was initially proposed.
