The Incomparable Angela Lansbury
 |
She passed October 11, 2022 in Los Angeles, California at age 96.
She was a British and American actress and singer whose career spanned some 80 years and incorporated various roles across film, stage, and television. She was a citizen of United Kingdom, United States since 1951, and Ireland since 1970.
She became internationally famous as the sleuth Jessica Fletcher in the American whodunit series Murder, She Wrote. It ran for twelve seasons until 1996, becoming one of the longest running and most popular detective drama series in television history. A longstanding favorite of my Mom I might add.
• She earned six Tony Awards
(including a Lifetime Achievement Award),
• six Golden Globe Awards,
• a Laurence Olivier Award, and
• the Academy Honorary Award, as well as
• nominations for three Academy Awards,
• eighteen Primetime Emmy Awards, and a
• Grammy Award
She was quite a talent in her day and her characters live on in syndication and remain a part of my mother's life on
streaming television.
Rest in peace.
