Angela Lansbury Dies.

[Georgiesmum]

Ive just seen Angela Lansbury, star of Murder she Wrote, has died aged 71.

sad news but she was 90

[albaqwerty]

thought she was 79 when she won her first Emmy (or some other award?)
Anyhoo, RIP

[Islay]

Loved her in A picture of Dorian Grey - but she was a lot older than 71!

Noooooo.......:o(
She was one of my favourite actresses.

There was nothing on the BBC or sky when I checked just now - its not one of those horrible hoax's I hope.

[Maydup]

No its Ken Howard who has died at 71; Angela Lansbury tweeted that news.

[scorpiojo]

^^

[jackthehat]

Phew!
Reading scorpiojo's link it looks like the confusion has arisen because she has tweeted about the death of Ken Howard who was 71.

[bibblebub]

she's 80, by the way

[aelmpvw]

i'm pleased to correct myself and say she is 90 not was 90

[Prudie]

Oh dear, touch of the Brian Rix here

[Islay]

Phew will now have to watch Gaslight and Dorian Gray this weekend.

[bibblebub]

oops got the age wrong

[jackthehat]

And the original version of The Manchurian Candidate, Islay?
And National Velvet.
The list is endless. :o)

[Islay]

Oh yes National Velvet.

I now have the song that she sings in Dorian Gray going round in my head!!

[albaqwerty]

apart from who is Ken Howard, am sure Angela will be glad she's not dead yet.

Bedknobs and Broomsticks for me :D

[bibblebub]

perhaps Mr. Ed should modify the question title

[Gromit]

What a fantastic woman, she will be dearly missed, but a least he died knowing she had made a difference.

[Gromit]

She will not be greatly missed, because she hasn't gone yet.

Incidently, did you know her father was a Labour politician who went to prison as a rates rebel?
