[Brazelton] Dame Angela Lansbury (Murder She Wrote etc)

[Bubble181]

Dame Angela Lansbury has died, aged 96.

You can claim she's most famous for "Murder, She Wrote" all you want, media, I still know her best as Misses Potts from Beauty & the Beast.

Pour one out for Mrs. Potts.

I can still hear the Murder, She Wrote theme song in my head.

She had such a long career, nominated for everything but never winning, and never cared, just on to the next project!

NOOOOOOOOOOO!

I still know her best as Misses Potts from Beauty & the Beast.

I've probably seen Beauty and the Beast at least a dozen times, but I still haven't seen Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

There goes another piece of my childhood. My mom loved that show.

Yeah I knew her first as the lady from Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

Then I saw her in the stage version of Sweeney Todd. Quite a contrast.

RIP Sir Paul McCartney...

for our Craig Ferguson fans.

Glad I am not the only one that remember her fondly from Bedknobs and Broomsticks. That movie was a big one for my childhood. Nothing like a bunch of armor and outfits beating the shit out of Nazis.

 

[Just Me]

To me she was the princess from The Court Jester before she became Miss Potts, and later Jessica Fletcher when my now-wife had her tv running as background noise a lot. Thanks to wifey I also know her from National Velvet alongside young Elizabeth Taylor and the great Anne Revere.
And from the obituary messages last night I learned a lot more about her in a short time to have nothing but utter respect for her live and work.
RIP Dame Angela.

I feel like Nathan may be making a poorly received joke here about gaslighting.

I’ll most fondly remember her as Miss Price the magic by mail course member from Bedknobs & Broomsticks. Also have seen many of her earlier movies since we were on a TCM movies binge for a couple of years.
