Angela Lansbury TONY wins '69, '75, '79, '09.

Angela Lansbury TONY wins '69, '75, '79, '09. For DEAR WOLRD, GYPSY , SWEENEY TODD, and BLITHE SPIRIT. Sadly, her first win for MAME was before the Tonys were nationally televised.
P.S Take note, the great Dorothy Loudon looses to Lansbury in '69 and ''79 for DEAR WORLD and SWEENEY TODD. Ironically, Loudon takes over for Lansbury in the tour of SWEENEY.

Winning a Tony is such an honor... now imagine winning FIVE during your career! Legendary!!!

[@wotan10950]

All of her honors are well-deserved. It’s incredible that she never won an Emmy for her years on Murder She Wrote.

[@jessicalillianweinberg4401]

And she was probably 84 here. 90 when she won the Olivier also for Blithe Spirit, in 2015. But I can't believe it took until 2009 for someone to think of making her Madame Arcati - can't believe she hadn't played it already. I think I say that partly because her costume reminds me of the one she had in the Death on the Nile adaptation.

[@HamlettKenneth]

Class, grace, modesty -- not to mention all that talent. She is the best!

[@jessicalillianweinberg4401]

Whenever I watch her accept an award it always feels like the way Jessica Fletcher accepts praise, validation, etc - even when the award is not related to MSW. But what did she mean by "It wasn't fair" after mentioning the other nominees?

This is a very special clip of a special actress. With 5 Tony's under her belt, she tied the record with Julie Harris (The Belle of Amherst) and now Audra McDonald set the standard even higher by winning 6 Tony's and she's barely even halfway into her career.

[@ericholck3914]

It's interesting watching Lansbury's win in 1979. She was then already in her mid-50s, and she may well have thought this was pinnacle of her career. And yet, her biggest success was still to come with "Murder She Wrote". And, she would go on to win two more Tonys (one for life achievement), receive multiple Golden Globe Awards, have a major part in one of Disney's most popular films of all time, and work steadily for another four decades. What a career, and what a talent.

ACTUALLY, Dorothy Loudon replaced Angela on Broadway before Angela went on tour with George Hearn (who had already replaced Len Cariou on Broadway.) I saw the original cast at the Gershwin (née Uris) then Angela and Hearn in Boston, at the Music Hall I think. This production (probably filmed on Broadway) is what PBS showed on Great Performances.
