    Sondheim once said "everyone auditions for me, except Angie." That when you know you've got it.

    Angela Lansbury is now a legend. Is there ANYBODY who doesn't recognize her name? What a consummate professional--an inspiration for any aspiring actress or actor.

    God I love Angela Lansbury, such a talented actress. If I had a time machine I think I'd go back and see all of her stage performances she must be thrilling to see live. ^_^

    We saw her in the last performance of Blithe Spirit in London a couple of years ago. She was SO DELIGHTFUL! There were many young people in the audience who jumped to their feet at the end of the show, and the whole cast was crying. It was a spectacular evening. I can still see her walking across the stage as Mme. Arcati ...she was SO funny.

    I saw her in Blithe Spirit on Broadway (among other shows she was in) and there was this bit with a lunch and the bread went flying (cannot remember if it was from her or someone else) and they all started laughing - staying in character, she ran with it and it was one of those unplanned magical theater moments. She was awesome...

    I relaxed watching the television series "She Wrote", and saw Angela Lansbury as a lady who exalted the role of the older woman: dynamic, creative and endearing, today when reading a little more of her life, I watch her as a to be special, an example of good sense, a lady who built a career that prevails over time thanks to her discipline and correction, a kind of being illuminated by proverbial grace and simplicity, which invites us to value every decade lived. At almost 94 years old, she is a model of health and experience, with all the right to enjoy the privilege of posterity earned by hand with incredible lucidity and temperance I join those who admire her. Greetings from Barranquilla, Colombia.

    Note to interviewer: with such time constraints that you ask Miss Lansbury to sum up Murder She Wrote in two minutes, it might be a good idea to stop interjecting with inane comments and simply let your most eloquent guest speak without interruptions.

    I knew 8 of the Murder She Wrote crew and they said she was the best person they ever worked for... So caring and kind. I also knew a man who had been her assistant when she did theater in London. The first day she told him that she was "Angie" to him and that she did not expect him to get coffee and tea for her. What a wonderful, down to earth lady she was... ❤

    To the Interviewer who interviewed Angela Lansbury: This interview was/is about Angela Lansbury...NOT about what you think or say. In other words...Just shut up and let the guest speak. They are the people who count. NOT YOU!!! And, learn not to interrupt when the guest is speaking...THEY are the important person because of a long and varied career in front of the cameras where millions have paid money to watch them perform. Angela Lansbury is a ten, (10) in her profession. You are about 1.5 in yours because of your rudeness toward others. And, I say again...Stop interrupting others when they are speaking...It's about them...Not you. Thank you. Posted July 23, 2021.

    J’adore Angela Lansbury surtout dans la série Arabesque ce rôle était vraiment fait pour elle, c’est une grande Dame pour moi, dommage que je soit française car j’aurais bien aimée la connaître. Elle est de la même génération que mes parents, Mme Lansbury est de 1926 et mes parents étaient de 1923. Je salue cette grande Dame. Merci pour votre série elle m’a beaucoup apporté.

    It was interesting to hear her talk about Johnny Depp. My guess is that he was already involved in the ideas for the Sweeney Todd movie which was released in 2007. I saw her in Blithe Spirit a few years ago. So glad he was back on Broadway.
