2 Lansburys | Theatre Department | Fort Lewis College

In September 2019, FLC was privileged to capture a rare conversation with the legendary actress Angela Lansbury. From "Murder, She Wrote" to "Beauty and the Beast," Lansbury's 70+ years of experience in film and theatre are explored in conversation with her niece, Felicia Lansbury Meyer, who teaches in the Theatre Department.

I was so shocked and saddened. I will miss her terribly. Her grace, her talent, her beauty. Rest in peace Dame Angela.

[@thekingtroll2]

She will be 95 this October. She has survived hundreds of the great actors and actresses and I'd still love to see her in more. Everyone of her roles leaves you feeling good.

[@dailybls]

I watched this after she passed away and was glad to see that she remained healthy in mind and body until the end. Amazing lady.

[@hansvonrittern9168]

Whole heartily agree, that is what she hoped for and deserved.

[@exyacht]

The more I watch Mrs. Angela Lansbury's work, the more I respect her talent. And when I watch her in interviews, well, she simply blows me away. What a class act!

[@mboyd692]

Angela Landsbury is a class act. Murder She Wrote is one of my favorites.

[@javimu111]

I was lucky to have met her and her husband "Pete" when I had the great fortune of working on her TV show in early 1991. I was in AWE. Loved them. Loved her. I still look back with such fondness. What a great sense of humor. What an Education for me! I will never forget this. She IS a great Gift to all of us.

[@patriciaseitz3530]

I do envy your having met her and her husband.

[@larrykelley5780]

My wife Sharron & I love her. Sharron died 7-11-2019 & I am very lonely everyday since I knew her since she was 10 & were married for 62 yrs. I watch Murder She Wrote every night & it makes me feel wonderful inside like Sharron is laying beside me. She also thought Angela's chin was like hers. We just just plain adored & admired everything about her. I would give a lot to meet Angela. [e-mail].

[@marycanary]

Me too! The two best roles (at least as far as I'm concerned) she ever did were, the time she did the voice of misses pots in Disney's animated version of Beauty and the Beast and my other favorite part was when she played the character of Mystery writer/amtur sluth Jessica Fletcher

[@musicalperson17]

It was an honour to sit front row at Blithe Spirit when they were in Toronto. I've never seen anyone get exit applause after their final scene, but you can bet she earned it spades. She easily held the massive theatre in her palm as she performed. When she bowed, her smile expressed all gratitude for her long and fruitful career, knowing it was soon coming to a close. It'll forever be one of those special nights of theatre you never forget.

[@pamelalabarbiera7308]

Underrated?! Hahaha!

[@ElvarMasson]

Underrated ? By who ?

[@WhippetOut]

I was in the third row, front and centre watching her in Blithe Spirit in London. As soon as she came on, it’s like she sucked the air out of the theatre. You could hear people gasp then of course burst into applause. And that’s before she uttered a word. Absolute legend.

[@markventrillo2582]

And here in Los Angeles too!!! I'm so thankful you've expressed this same phenomenon I experienced here. ❤️ She received applause when she first walks on stage and exits the scene.... and oh my the standing ovation at the end. Her face was filled with gratitude and radiated her humble heart ❤️

Miss Lansbury is a woman steeped in grace, humility, love, talent. I've seen a few interviews with her over the years and I never heard her bad mouth another actor --even when she was pressed for the "dirt"! What a joy she has given me to be able to watch her many movies and Murder, She Wrote series and see the depth of her talent. Long live the movie and theatre queen!!

[@cap439]

Angela Lansbury is such an incredible talent ... and an amazing human being.

[@tarap5618]

What a wonderful interview. One of the last few gems of true Hollywood when actors and actresses were abundantly talented. Thank you for posting this interview. Mrs. Landsbury, thank you for sharing your gift with us throughout the years. I've been so fortunate to have seen you on the stage, tv and film. And I can honestly say, the projects in which you've been in were enhanced by your immense talent. I'm such a fan. I truly believe you have made a permanent impact on the world through your many performances on stage, film and television. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.

[@tollaanderson2850]

What a living treasure. You can still detect the English accent when Angela Lansbury speaks. A longer interview would be wonderful.

[@jmauro1172]

One of my favorite things about this interview is the look of admiration on Felicia's face for her aunt. Since her death I have watched all but 2 of Angela's movies. She was indeed a great actress. She could play any role with any accent. Amazing!

[@reasonrestored9116]

What a great voice, clear and strong, no worries about those notes!

[@beamerritt6757]

I have always thought that Miss. Landsbury is one of the BEST classiest actresses that ever will be! I have the whole set of Murder She Wrote and a few of her movies! God Bless and thanks for all you have done!!

[@karinberryman2009]

Unbelievable stamina and integrity in many ways! One in a million!

[@patriciaseitz3530]

The enormity and vastness of her talents are unfathomable. I absolutely adore this great lady and will forever wish I had experienced her phenominal performance on stage. I am so grateful to have "Sweeney Todd", "Driving Miss Daisy" and "Little Women" on DVR as well as continual reruns of "Murder She Wrote" available, especially those dual-role episodes in London. Treasures all! We are truly blessed to have had Angela Lansbury in our lives. I only hope she knows how much she is loved and valued.

[@jenniferbaldwin3061]

Dame Angela Lansbury is all class and open about all that has happened in her life good and bad.. My favourite Dame along with Julie Andrews, Maggie Smith. My favourite USA actress is Katherine Hepburn. All 4 women have talent to burn. Theatre,movie or television they are the best.

[@robinsmith2884]

Oh I wish Angela Lansbury were my Aunt !! Nobody like her, for sure. Someone you greatly admire and look up to. Can't say enough good things about this woman - just an absolute gem.

[@randysills4418]

About ten of the "Murder, She Wrote" crew used to come in to the bank I worked at, and I asked all of them individually what Ms. Lansbury was like. They all said that she was one of the nicest and most caring people that they ever knew....

How fortunate you are! I still haven't quit crying! My mom and I watched murder she wrote every week, even when I grew up I don't think we ever missed a show. Then, when we found out that cabot cove was really right up the road we were shocked! We got to meet her a few times, even had lunch a few times together. My mom made a cobbler and we all had it together. She was so gracious. She reminded me of my mom. Now they're both gone, and I'm really sad. I'm so sorry for your loss. She was unforgettable!! TRULY! 💔

I know Dame Angela has lived in the US for the majority of her long, long life but I can be forgiven for still viewing her as an Englishwoman. She is, quite simply, an accomplished actor who has gifted us with many fine performances yet has remained genuine and humble. Greetings from across the Pond, Dame Angela.

[@BAM-jc7uy]

She portrayed two extremes of motherhood....the first was the mother of the "Manchurian Candidate" pure evil of a mother AND then there was the ditzy, doting, and loving mother of Elvis Presley in Blue Hawaii. She left us many tv episodes and movies that are family fare to us gr-grannies and their children, and in real life a role model of a true, protecting, loving mother for her children.

Might I remind you that there was life before "Murder, She Wrote" too. I always enjoy re-watching "Mrs 'Arris, Goes to Paris", also staring that other legend, Diana Rigg as well as Omar Sherif; before that, "The Manchurian Candidate", "Bedknobs and Broomsticks", her list of credits is almost endless just as she herself, is timeless.

[@ednahkarmen]

[@karenrich9092]

I very much enjoyed this video! My favorite characters of hers were Mrs. Fletcher (Murder She Wrote) and Mrs. Potts (Beauty & The Beast). I would put my children to bed at night with a recording of her singing and she would say, "Off to the cupboard with ya now Chip, it's past your bedtime." And they would go! I wonder how many hundreds of children she was "nanny" for like this. Now I have to look up the other movies she did so I can enjoy her skills all over again.
