The Olivier Awards with Mastercard are not only world-renowned, they’re the most sought-after and highly regarded accolade in British theatre. The awards have always marked true theatrical greatness and celebrated excellence in the industry. However, they have not always been how we know them today.
In 1976, the Society of West End Theatre (now known as the Society of London Theatre (SOLT) created an eponymous awards ceremony to celebrate the very best performers and creatives in the West End. Among the winners were Alan Howard, Peggy Ashcroft, Penelope Keith and Jonathan Miller.

I'm crying .... it's enjoyable to watch Angel Lansberry play a role, and it's even more so enjoyable to listen to her just speak to us. There are very few talented people who are also gracious and humble.

[@jslasher1]

She has earned that award many times over.

[@jessicalillianweinberg4401]

It's kind of amazing (in the bad sense of the word) that she is actually NOT what they call an EGOT - meaning someone who has an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony. I believe she has an honorary Oscar, and of course many Tonys - but no Emmys, Grammys, or Oscars for specific roles.

[@PsyChoAnaLize]

Oh this woman. How I have loved her. I’ll cherish her until my last day. ❤❤❤

[@pikemeredith5604]

She is one of our true survivors, now 95. She has worked with the best of many Judy Garland, Charles Boyer & Elvis Presley just to name some. She is a fine actress who didn't let the glitter of Hollywood spoil her ego.

[@jessicalillianweinberg4401]

She was 90 at the time of this award, I believe.

[@childrenaremaggots1969]

Angela died peacefully today. Let's all say "Rest in peace" 😭😭😭

I was lucky enough to see Angela Lansbury in Blithe Spirit! I sat third row from the front, right in the middle, and it was the best experience of my life! I have adored Angela Lansbury since I was a child, and my first memory is of Bedknobs and Broomsticks! She 100% deserved this award! She honestly stole the show and everyone’s hearts whilst they watched! She is and always will be my favourite actress!

I know this award has nothing to do with Murder She Wrote, but when I've seen Angela accept awards it often reminds me of Jessica Fletcher accepting one.

[@Muttonchop_USA]

People are speculating that Lansbury is Les Moonve's tongue-in-throat victim. Murder She Wrote was an unqualified smash. But JoBeth Williams had a short-lived series based on the movie The Client. Could the Poltergeist have gone down HER throat? More important, I saw Lansbury in this role in NYC. She was every bit Margaret Rutherford's equal.

[@kenna2012]

[@victoremmanuell_ptbr1902]

For me (as a foreigner), one of the two last great actresses from the golden era of the British cinema: Dame Maggie Smith and Dame Angela Lansbury.

[@ronaldcammarata3422]

Except, of course, Angela Lansbury is a legend of American movies. It is Hollywood where she got her break at age 19 (while working at a Los Angeles department store). And the US is where she made her career, both in Hollywood (movies and TV) as well as on Broadway. As she has said, she considers herself American first.

Is this her first Olivier? I wouldn't be surprised it it was. Her stage career, although started in the UK, was really on Broadway. Broadway is really her stage world.

[@fergusmurray1828]

Nope! She won in the Best Actress in a Musical Category for playing Mama Rose in Gypsy in 1973.

[@originalhellchild]

@@fergusmurray1828 the Oliviers weren’t established till 1976. Maybe you’re thinking of the Tonys?

[@fergusmurray1828]

@@originalhellchild Yeah, my mistake. I didn’t realise I commented something like this though, I would’ve deleted it otherwise. She won awards in London for her performance though.

[@jessicalillianweinberg4401]

@@fergusmurray1828 Thinking about it, I'm actually surprised it got to be 2009, and Angela got to be 80-something, before someone thought of making her Madame Arcati. She did the role in the US and won a Tony in 2009, prior to this British performance. But I felt like she must have played the role before that, and I feel that way partly, I think, because her Madame Arcati attire is a little like her character's in the Death on the Nile adaptation she was in. And the stage directions in Blithe Spirit actually say that Madame A can be a range of ages.

Her accent changes in the UK

[@100goldenboy]

It does and it did. I am from the north of England and have lost my accent, except when I go back. but this is how she has always spoken in private. her public persona became so huge in the US that she adapted her accent and, I think, on purpose: to be understood. often in the US people ask me to repeat what I say, so it's easier to adopt American pronunciation for certain things than keep saying the same thing than have people laugh at you. she adapted to any situation; she never lost her charm, grace and humility. long live queen Angela

Wasn't she the cute member of the Beatles and calls herself Paul McCartney sometimes?

[@davidlionheart2438]

Angela Lansbury unquestionably deserves the award, but "Madame Arcati" is NOT a "supporting role"! She is the female lead in "Blithe Spirit". "Ruth" and "Elvira" are supporting roles.

[@jessicalillianweinberg4401]

It definitely seems like they billed the play that way when Dame Angela was playing that role...she was definitely top billing.
