Angela Lansbury 1925 - 2022: A Hollywood Star Made In London

Dame Angela Lansbury, who won international acclaim as the star of the US TV crime series Murder, She Wrote, has died aged 96.
The three-time Oscar nominee had a career spanning eight decades, across film, theatre and television.
Born in 1925, she was one of the last surviving stars of the Golden Age of Hollywood cinema.
In 2013 Dame Angela was given an honorary Academy Award for her lifetime achievements in the film industry and was also awarded a lifetime achievement award by Bafta in 2002.
Dame Angela was made a CBE in the Queen’s 1994 birthday honours and was made a DBE in the 2014 New Year Honours for services to drama, charitable work and philanthropy.
Bonnie Langford described actress Angela Lansbury as an extraordinary 'beacon of light' who guided her own successful career and inspired so many more.
The Surrey-born performer said she was 'deeply saddened' to hear the 96-year-old actress had passed away, but reflected on the positive role she played in her life.
"She was an extraordinary lady and a beacon of light - a wonderful actress," Bonnie Langford told ITV News London.
"I first worked with her when I was eight-years-old, I was in a musical called Gypsy.
"I played Baby June, and she played my mother, Momma Rose, and because of her I was then taken to Broadway with the show and appeared on Broadway at the age of ten. We stayed in contact for fifty years.
"And she was an example to me of how to behave as an actress on stage and particularly off stage.“
