Oh, nooooo! She is one performer that I really enjoyed over the years. I had the chance to see her in a play on Broadway about ten years ago. The play was lousy, but I just wanted to see her perform. She was wonderful. RIP. Thank you for doing what you did best: entertain.

Goodbye Little Yellow Bird.
I saw her perform many times on Broadway. She was a marvel and a riot in Sweeney Todd - - bringing down the house over and over again.
Goodbye little yellow bird
I'd rather brave the cold
On a leafless tree
Than a prisoner be
In a cage of gold
Wise freedom-loving words. RIP, Angela.

As a teenager she starred in Gaslight (1944) and The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945). Ms. Lansbury has been a top rate actor for seemingly forever. May she rest in peace. Great entertainer.

It always struck me how relatively ageless Angela Lansbury came across on the screen after all of those decades. —-Not that she was Dorian Gray incarnate (the movie of which she co-starred in 1945). Yes, just coincidence.
RIP

A real sweetheart with a timeless presence. I recently watched Mrs. 'arris Goes to Paris - such a delight and so much better than the new version.

Never heard a negative thing about Ms. Lansbury, no scandal, nothing unseemly. We enjoy her in "Murder, Shé Wrote," on daily on the Hallmark Channel. There aren't many programs one can watch multiple times and really enjoy them, especially a nice respite from most of the grimy stuff available, including the news.
So, #2, we can't really say RIP to Jessica Fletcher! Take heart, she lives on!
Thanks, Angela Lansbury. Rest in peace.

I too have been enjoying Angela in 'Murder She Wrote' each evening for the past couple weeks. On season three now. I used to watch it when it was first on. My mother and I chuckled about how so many of her nieces, cousins, neighbors, school chums, literary colleagues and unfortunate bystanders wound up dead. She always was the smartest person on the scene, and delightfully so. Not mentioned above, she did a delightful turn as Princess Gwendolyn in the Danny Kaye vehicle 'The Court Jester'. (the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true). Sadly missed....but never truly gone.

I always remember her from Bedknobs and Broomsticks, one of my favorite films when I was a kid.

I saw her in Sweeny Todd with Len Carou on Broadway in 1979. Unforgettable. Rest in peace.

Shameful. Such nastiness over someone’s passing has no place here. I thought we were better than that.

Her father was a Communist, but she was not. We still binge watch Murder She Wrote, love her clothes, and Gaslight was amazing. Never read anything negative about her. How sad to be so full of hate and display it for all to see. She was an incredible talent, singing, acting, stage, big screen, small screen. RIP Dame Angela Lansbury.

What a marvel-the Dorian Grey Manchurian Candidate. God rest her merry in Heaven's halls. I fear we'll not see her like again.

RE #13:
I was a kid when Bedknobs and Broomsticks came out. We saw it in the theater and I loved it. I always remembered Angela Lansbury in it.
She was an amazing actress who never once showed her boobs on camera or had gratuitous sex for the sake of a movie. She didn't need to. Her talent spoke for itself.

Watching the animated Beauty and The Beast and hearing her sing the title song surprise me. Didn't know she had such a beautiful singing voice.
