Oh, I'm so sad to hear this.

What a wonderful person she was and what a terrific actress.

Even when she was spoofing herself, she did it with so much class. I think my favorite movie with her was Gaslamp. She was so utterly low, as one would say.

RIP, dear lady

I have always been a big fan of Angela Lansbury. So sad to learn of her passing. I've seen her in GASLIGHT, THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE, and of course, MURDER,SHE WROTE. I just started rewatching wonderful Jessica Fletcher on Amazon Prime. Also loved her as the tipsy woman
who kept calling Hercule Poirot, Mr. Porridge.

Brooding Villainess (Court jester, Harvey Girls, Gaslight, etc. in comedy and drama)
Socialite (Mame), Detective (Jessica Fletcher)

She was so natural and fabulous in every role.
I loved her in the Court Jester with Danny Kaye

Yes, it's so sad- We are going to miss her.

Regarding "the tipsy woman who kept calling Hercule Poirot, Mr. Porridge."

I am sorry I never saw her in that.
Do you remember what film / TV series that was in ?
Thanks.

Dame Angela Brigid Lansbury!

What a loss. She was amazing. Gaslight taught me so much, I'm so grateful for that movie. I loved her in Murder She Wrote (sometimes on WS I pretend I'm Jessica Fletcher). Bedknobs And Broomsticks, Mrs. Pots. Such a talented person.

She is one of my favorites: Broadway, stage, screen (TV and Movies). She was a classy lady. She lived a long, productive life. May she rest forever in peace.

I just remembered she was also in Lace and Little Gloria Happy At Last

I know she had a long and wonderful life, but I feel the world lost a good one. I always said never invite Jessica Fletcher for a visit, and never go to Cabot Cove... murder always happens.
