This was WAY too short. Angela Lansbury was so beautiful and talented, and "Murder She Wrote" is one of the best shows ever. Rest In Peace.

Lansbury doesn't blink from 1:02 till the end of the scene. Very effective way of portraying a domineering, evil woman without having to raise one's voice or chew scenery.

Ms Lansbury could read the phone directory and she would make it an art

All the young people are watching it today for the first time with KZbin. They love it.

I saw Elaine At liberty in London. I was amazed by her energy at her age. A life well lived

I Love This Song Beautiful ❤❤❤

What about Jean Stapleton?

By the time Murder She Wrote started, I’m sure many adults remembered her from Bed knobs and Broomsticks in their childhood. This probably helped them to relate to her so quickly and fondly.

A true treasure god bless you and RIP Dame Angela Lansbury

The show wouldn’t have been as special as it was if they had hired a different actress. ❤

John Frankenheimer directed Angela Lansbury one year earlier in All Fall Down”. Co- starring Warren Beatty,Eva Marie Saint,Karl Malden,Brandon De Wilde. One morning Frankenheimer gave Angela a book he wanted her to read as he was hoping to direct a film adaptation. The book was The Manchurian Candidate and after much soul searching and lobbying from JF she agreed. Thankfully for cinema goers all over the world Angela said yes. And yes Angela kissed Warren Beatty on the lips in All Fall Down like she did Laurence Harvey. Angela said late in her life “John was obsessed about( relationships) between mothers and sons”

Angela Landsbury is brilliant in this film. She should have won the Oscar that year.

I still watch all the re-runs of MSW. Very enjoyable to watch! ❤️❤️❤️

So many parallels to today’s rhetoric, grooming and events. It's streaming on quite a few platforms.

I've recently watched John Adams and I have to say, it's the best tv show i've ever watched and I can totally understand why nobody won besides the actors in John Adams that year. An incredible show!

Old Elaine messed around and found out that not everyone was willing to bow down to her magnificence.

In all those categories, that was some fierce competition lmao

Did now she was a brit

Rip jess we miss you so darn much part of my child hood

If you look closely, you’ll see that she’s far too young to play his mother, but she SELLS it. Lansbury is a legend, she could do anything.

Just goes to prove you don't need any car chase or graphic violence to spin a thoroughly engrossing story! ❤

GG was an NBC show, not CBS.

RIP Angela Lansbury (1925-2022).

talk about talent nobody can do a character role like dame Angela she’s simply the best of the best especially in live performances

Does Eliane Strich hold the Guiness record for skinniest legs ever? Jesus, my male arms have more fat on them.....😂

She would have never gotten along with Rue, Estelle and Betty.

Loved Murder she wrote = Classy lady

I would imagine that any woman would.pick Rock instead of Ben

I would have liked to have seen Elaine in an episode or two of the Golden Girls. She could have played a neighbour or one of the sisters.

What an ego. I mean I like her and all but what makes her think the critics would’ve automatically raved about the film version of MAME if she had been in it? More times than not what works great on stage doesn’t translate on the same on film.

Either she flubbed her lines, or no one did their research; it's pretty well known that Golden Girls was a huge hit for NBC, not CBS.

I can only hope there is some 'Acting Coach' showing this clip to anyone nowadays............This is how it is DONE, PERIOD.........Thank you Ms. Stritch for establishing A STANDARD.

LOOKMAGBOHANDS

How many of her nearest and dearest friends did Jessica send to the electric chair? LOLOL.

God Bless you Dame Angela Lansbury! What a life & career you had. Thanks for this look back at MGM too.

Mufasa and. mrs Potts!

I wonder if her character was named after Alberto Vargas

Not her best version. A bit overdone.

Just shows you that it’s not funny, smart or clever to think that you’re more important than the ensemble of talents when auditioning (or any other time for that matter!)!! Bea got the part, didn’t ‘mouth off’ to the creators and executives, and cemented her legacy piece into television….world history!! Way to go Elaine (that chair sure starts getting heavy with the passing of each year huh)!! 🙄

Angela’s black courtiers gown - was from the “Murder, She Wrote” wardrobe collection - personally ordered by Angela during the 1992 summer… producers refused to pay for the gown… Angela refused a return to the series…! WE KNEW WHO WON THE DISAGREEMENT … Angela wore the gown - for a TONY AWARD SHOW…!’!

Angela had the voice. The studio chose lucy. Lucy was fabulous in my opinion. Angela would've been better

She’s one classy lady My role model 100 percent

Sensational.

Best TV show of ALL time!❤

Just shows that it isn't about having a beautiful voice, but how to perform. Elaine does this in spades! Brilliant!

Lover her dearly…..may she rest with the Angels!!❤️🙏

As a kid I learned to love that great show, still a big fan

Is she drunk here? Because she is acting like a drunk.

I read somewhere that Elaine was later on considered as a potential replacement for Bea after she decided to leave the show, but they ultimately decided against it.

Brilliant.
