We've lost another legend

Written by

Earlier this week we lost another entertainment legend, Angela Lansbury. She was 96 years old...just 5 days away from her 97th birthday! What a career she had. From her first role at 19 in "Gaslight" (1944) to her last role at 96 in the "Knives Out" sequel "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery" (2022), which will be released next month.

Of course she was very well known for her work on Broadway. I'm of the generation that was introduced to her as Mrs. Potts in "The Beauty & the Beast". Her other big role of course was as Mrs. Jessica Fletcher on "Murder She Wrote" for 12 seasons!!! I am a big fan of mystery/who dunnit tv shows, theater, and movies. I never watched "Murder" while it was on the air, but my Grandma did. It still is shown everyday on Cozi TV (Channel 3.3 locally) at 6 & 7am. Sometimes I'll watch when I get home from work.

As with Betty White, I always thought of her as America's Grandmother (even though she was British).

Rest in Peace Angela Lansbury.
