Before the word lost all meaning, Gaslight meant one thing: an Ingrid Bergman psychological thriller in which her husband convinces her she’s going insane so he can steal her family’s fortune. The 19-year-old Lansbury nabbed a Best Supporting Actress nomination in her first screen outing for her role as the downright bitchy maid Nancy, who’s all too happy to flirt with Bergman’s man and give her some serious glares.

As a young actress, Lansbury was a self-professed homebody, [224] who commented that she loved housekeeping. [225] She preferred to spend quiet evenings with her friends inside her house because she did not like to engage in Hollywood nightlife. [226] Her hobbies at the time included reading, riding, playing tennis, cooking, and playing the piano; she also had a keen interest in gardening. [227] She cited F. Scott Fitzgerald as her favourite author, [228] and Roseanne and Seinfeld among her favourite television shows. [229] Lansbury was an avid letter writer who wrote letters by hand and made copies of all of them. [230] At Howard Gotlieb's request, Lansbury's papers are housed at the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center at Boston University. [231]

What was Angela Lansbury’s cause of death?

In 1983, Lansbury was offered two main television roles, one in a sitcom and the other in a detective drama series, Murder, She Wrote. As she was unable to do both, her agents advised her to accept the former, although Lansbury chose the latter. [131] Her decision was based on the appeal of the series' central character, Jessica Fletcher, a retired school teacher from the fictional town of Cabot Cove, Maine. As portrayed by Lansbury, Fletcher was a successful detective novelist who also solved murders encountered during her travels. [132] Lansbury described the character as "an American Miss Marple". [133] Anthony became a television director and directed 68 episodes of Murder, She Wrote. [219] Deirdre married a chef, and together they opened a restaurant in West Los Angeles. [220] Lansbury had three grandchildren and five great-grandchildren at the time of her death in 2022. [221]

There are a few entry points into this little-known movie, all of which, in the spirit of this week’s National Coming Out Day, I’ll comfortably say mean you’re probably gay: It’s written by Hugh Wheeler ( A Little Night Music), directed by Hal Prince ( West Side Story), was shot in a lavish Bavarian castle, and stars Michael York (Liza’s bisexual bedmate in Cabaret) alongside Lansbury. The film is only available via Kino Lorber’s 2016 remastered home-video release unless you do some, ahem, digging on a certain Tube. One of the pinnacles of musical theater, 1979’s Sweeney Todd rejoined Lansbury with Hugh Wheeler and master composer-lyricist Stephen Sondheim, with whom she’d collaborated on Anyone Can Whistle and the first (and best) Gypsy revival. She’d already won her fourth Tony for the role of Mrs. Lovett by the time she took the show on the road, which this recording captured in its full glory during its final L.A. stop. Following the success of Gaslight and The Picture of Dorian Gray, MGM cast Lansbury in 11 further films until her contract with the company ended in 1952. Keeping her among their B-list stars, MGM used her less than their similar-aged actresses; Lansbury biographers Rob Edelman and Audrey E. Kupferberg believed that the majority of these films were "mediocre", doing little to further her career. [33] This view was echoed by Cukor, who believed Lansbury had been "consistently miscast" by MGM. [34] She was repeatedly made to portray older women, often villainous, and as a result she became increasingly dissatisfied with working for MGM, commenting that "I kept wanting to play the Jean Arthur roles, and Mr Mayer kept casting me as a series of venal bitches." [35] The company was suffering from the post-1948 slump in cinema sales, as a result slashing film budgets and cutting their number of staff.
