Angela Lansbury, beloved star of the screen and stage, has died at age 96:
Angela Lansbury was destined to become an actress; born in London, England in 1925, her mother was a leading lady of the British stage. Although Lansbury was best known for her role as Jessica Fletcher in the long-running CBS TV series,Lansbury died Tuesday in Los Angeles at the age of 96, according to a family statement. No cause of death was mentioned.
With the Battle of Britain raging, Lansbury and her mother moved to the United States in 1940 and settled in Hollywood two years later. She got her first screen role, as the saucy housemaid Nancy inGaslight, often playing women much older than she actually was. Perhaps her most memorable Hollywood performance was as the evil mother of the brainwashed Laurence Harvey inLansbury moved to New York to star on Broadway and scored an enormous triumph in Jerry Herman'sLansbury played manipulative Eleanor Iselin, mother of Staff Sergeant Raymond Shaw , in the 1962 thriller"Angela Lansbury really threw herself in front of the bus to get that part." Maslon says.
"People were appalled by the blood that was splattering at them from the stage," she recalled."They felt that Stephen had gone a step too far. But, my goodness, there was another two-thirds of the audience who hadn't seen it yet who arrived at the theater and they just took it to their hearts and — to make a long story short — we won the Tony that year.
