Dame Angela Lansbury is 95 years old in 2020. She did this when she was 65-66 years old. Talk about an absolute legend Edit: Oct 11,2022- Angela Lansbury passed away at age 96. A true icon has left us but she leaves behind numerous memorable works to honor her with.

[@jessicalillianweinberg4401]

It was during the same era she was Jessica Fletcher! And while I think people recognize her as both Jessica and Mrs. Potts, what is less obvious is that Jerry Orbach, who is Detective Briscoe on Law and Order, and was a detective friend of Jessica's, Harry McGraw, is Lumiere. I mean, I can hear Angela Lansbury's voice from Mrs. Potts - Orbach managed to sound very different as a French guy. And I love how Jessica completely remakes her life (becoming a writer, adopting a new lifestyle) in her 50s and 60s.

Fun fact: The song "Beauty and the Beast" was originally going to be a fast beat pop song but Angela Lansbury said she didnt want to sing it that way. Ironically "Under the Sea" was supposed to be a slow ballad but the actor voicing Sebastian recommended it be an upbeat song. Edit: the part about Little Mermaid isn't true after all. I could've sworn I heard about it but I can't find an actual article or interview to back it up.

[@jmin8400]

@Peter Evans This video has nothing to do with her life and what she looked like in 1991, being that the footage above is from *June* *1990* , for a project released 17 1/2 months later in November 1991. No one else referred to what she looked like in 1991, because the video is from the previous year. People can easily change from year to year due to varying health, even if she didn't change at all. It's very telling how you ignorantly assumed this video was from 1991 to make a dumb joke and it actually wasn't, per the description (that you cannot even read well). You're too incorrigible to admit to being wrong about missing an obvious detail and moving on. Also, liking your own comments doesn't make your lousy defense any more credible and is the mark of an insecure person. When you have to stoop to bigoted accusations out of thin air (which hold no weight: raised well here indeed, educated at the best, & born in England), you obviously have no real argument. Put a sock in it.

Try and reread your own commentary, if you're becoming lost that quickly. Other than me being pedantic over the actual date, no one acknowledged your lame joke, as to be nearly 100 and look virtually the same as you did when leaving your middle aged years (over 3 decades earlier) vs being a rotting corpse in the ground, is a feat.
