Whether it's reporting on conflicts abroad and political divisions at home, or covering the latest style trends and scientific developments, New York Times video journalists provide a revealing and unforgettable view of the world. It's all the news that's fit to watch.
She was the type of actress you swore you knew personally. She really touched a lot of lives and a lot of hearts. Rest well, Ms Lansbury, from a fan of yours since 8 yrs old. You will be missed.
I love Angela Lansbury. A sense of truth was expressed each time she spoke so passionately about her acting career - experiences .. her soul mate Peter was ❤rest in peace ☮️ together in eternity.
Kind of like the world's grandma to be honest. I grew up with her on Murder She Wrote so she's always been there, and had a very comforting aura.
That’s a lovely tribute! ❤️
She was a true class act that we all loved and respected!! After 70 years in acting she deserved the love from ALL of us and she got it---in SPADES!! RIP dear one!!!!!!!
@Mac Tex flex capacitor I live in a nursing home facility in Missoula, Montana and have a friend who would travel the country with her husband. She always slept late in morning and he was an early riser. Well, he would get up and go walk the grounds of the facility they were visiting and he started walking with a lovely woman and they would have delightful visits. It turned out to be none other than Angela!! I just had to share that story!!
How could anyone say she wasn’t beautiful? She was very beautiful and a great actor. RIP, Angela.
Yes she was beautiful. I don't understand how any one could think she wasn't.
She wasn’t a starlet, but she wasn’t ugly either. You have to use what you have and she definitely did that better than anyone else
I lived in the village in County Cork Ireland that Ms. Lansbury moved to. The Irish loved her for turning her back on Hollywood because her 2 children were using drugs and she wanted to get them away from all the trappings of Hollywood
Rest In Peace to a Wonderful Mom who happened to also be an extremely talented actress.
Love her even more
@@lorettanericcio-bohlman567 I never met her but everyone in the village that did meet her said she was down to Earth "No Airs about Her"
Shame America is rife with drugs and guns
امرأة راقية فعلا
She was so humble and talented. I saw her in Murder, She Wrote first and I absolutely adored her character. RIP Angela Lansbury, you were a one-in-a-million talent.
True one off my favourite sho I still watch, she was elegant and had class she will be missed.
I grew up watching murder she wrote, it was my favourite tv show. It was heartbreaking to hear her admit failure as a mother when her children fell into drugs. She is such a great Lady, such elegance and dignity, reminds me of queen women of another time whose like we will never see again. Thanks for the happy childhood memories watching murder she wrote. RIP.
Wish we could see reruns of Murder She Wrote!
Shock to know she was a singer
@@lindamoore7962 in US, one can watch it if they have Amazon Prime membership.
Just like our late queen, one thought this woman would go on and on, but sadly everything comes to an end. A lady with style, grace and elegance.
Oh your comment reiterates my thoughts exactly.
"Life is so hard"...boy that was a mouthful. How compassionate of her. Such a talent and gracious woman. Thank you Angela Landsbury.
Those were the words that also stuck me. Her loses & sacrifices did take a toll.
Angela Lansbury was a giant in her field who used her influence to help those less fortunate than her. What an incredible legacy.
Indeed! Murder She Wrote is a visual testament to that.
She played lorna deeds with raymond burr's Craig Carlson
Craig Carlson, was a lawyer, before perry Mason
I've always thought Jessica would Be her
Amen
Jessica Fletcher was a character, who always reacted the right way, even before mean and evil people, and everyone liked her. How many such characters exist on stage or screen?
@@vrfvfdcdvgtre2369
Before she took over as executive producer, they wanted her to be more of a stereotypical "fuddy-duddy," and Lansbury adamantly objected. It was important to her to show that older women, older people, can be, and are smart, vibrant, and capable of keeping up with the modern world. Getting older ≠ becoming useless.
The film industry never truly appreciated her talents; constantly casting her in supporting roles and rarely the lead, and she was only 23 when they first began having her play characters twice her age, leading to her "aging out" of the industry even earlier than normal. I believe this experience is why, when she became executive producer, she would frequently cast familiar faces that Hollywood "decided it was done with."
Angela Lansbury was a beautiful woman inside and outside, and she was a brilliant actress. Rest In Peace Angela Lansbury ❤❤❤
She was so down to earth yet had an enormous talent. Angela was a gift to the world.
She said "not a beautiful face" but all we know she was much more than that,
not a lot of "beautiful faces" can be so beloved as you Angela. RIP.
And she was indeed very beautiful.
Asf who ever told her she wasn’t is crazy asf
What a compelling and moving interview. The fact that she chose not to publish this until after her death is both clever and touching... She made sure that she would get the last word when it came to her legacy.
The Last Word by NYT is always filmed and then released after it’s subject has passed. That’s how it works. One of my favourite’s is with Elaine Stritch. Wise, funny, revealing and poignant. A stunning “last word”. Literally.
And rightly so...
My mother's parents never missed "Murder She Wrote". We all loved solving the crime with Jessica.
And she always got them all right!!
My mother and I also!
Yes when I was a kid I just knew her as Jessica Fletcher. Didn’t know til much later that she was a much bigger star.
STILLLLLLLOVE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
As a child, Ms. Lansbury first caught my attention as the drunken, outspoken old socialite in Death on the Nile and Jessica Fletcher in Murder, She Wrote. Even at that young age, I recognised her towering talent. Her performances in both those shows will remain indelible in my mind.
If only all of us could be as lively, sharp, and active as Ms. Angela Lansbury, ageing would be nothing to fear but something to enjoy and celebrate. Your undeniable talent and indefatigable spirit will be sorely missed. You’ve lived your life to the fullest. The world has lost a bright and constant star. Rest in peace. 🙏👼🌹
One of the greatest ever. Rest In Peace Jessica Fletcher
I just cried hearing about the passing and it was actually my birthday. I was so heartbroken, I grew up watching famous Disney movies she was in and including her beautiful singing voice. May you Rest In Peace Angela Lansbury. We’ll always think you you 😔🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
Sad to hear about your passing. You will never be forgotten. At 96 you were an actress for the ages. I wish to express my condolences to your family and friends and millions of fans who won't be able to forget you ever. Rest in peace.
Legend. Queen. It’s because of her we have the term “icon.” Absolutely love and adore her. She was my favorite
i'm proud of her for being able to speak about her children and their run ins with charles manson. that's such a traumatic experience and her absolute strength and resilience through that time is so commendable.
A woman of immense dignity and talent. Rest in peace Jessica Fletcher
One of the best of the old schooled actresses. She will be missed. R.I.P Angela Lansbury.
This woman has brought me an unspeakable amount of joy 💔
Rest in peace my lady 😞 😭 you were an extraordinary actress. 💔
What a compassionate and empathetic spirit she was. A wonderful person who was a true legend of the golden era of stage and screen. No false modesty either. Aware of and confident in her talents. Murder She Wrote is one of the theme tunes of my childhood. Thank you for entertaining the world with your gifts. Rest In Peace dear lady.
I loved her as Mrs. Price from Bedknobs and broomsticks. To this day it’s still my favorite Disney movie of hers.
I still love to watch Bedknobs & Broomsticks at the age of 60. Great childhood film 👍
RIP Angela Lansbury x
she's both an extraordinary woman and a beautiful lady.
I had the opportunity to briefly meet her about twenty years ago. She was so sweet and delightful. Though my time in her presence was short, it remains one of my most cherished memories. Godspeed, Ms. Lansbury. You will never be forgotten.
I believe her grandfather, was The Mayor of London at one time, another, great, British actress, leaves, us, so manygone already, they don't make them like that, anymore, sad to say,!
She was always SUCH a favorite of mine. When I heard she'd passed I had to wipe away the tears. RIP, dear lady... thank you for giving joy to so many.
Hello Kim, How're you doing?i came across your profile while surfing through the site,...i thought of you being interesting to know, hope you don’t mind?
Happy New Year ❤ I honestly love your posts and always enjoy reading them in my lonely spare time. I'm so sorry I invaded your privacy, but I'd love to be friends with someone who could share such sensitive post content, which means you're a woman of integrity. I wanted to add you but sending you a friend request without your consent is inappropriate because I'm a public figure and it wouldn't take much either, I'd appreciate it if you send me a friend request now so we can be friends and text better here on RUclips
One of the greatest actresses of our times.
Thank you. You did transport the imagination of a girl from Iowa to wonderful and fantastic places. Rest In Peace, Angela.

@@pamelastoner2427 Your comment caught my eye. My sister is named Pamela and my mother is named Faith. Just a coincidence but sort of neat.
I saw her twice. In Mame in NYC and in Sweeney Todd in Washington DC. She was amazing. There is much to admire in her wit, her talent and her humanity. RIP. You are missed!
Auntie Mame
This interview was beautifully done. I’ve been dreading the day I would hear she left us. Angela Lansbury was simply amazing and I felt like I knew her. Rest peacefully wonderful lady and much love to her family during this difficult time.
Hello Melissa, how are you doing?
I am saddened. Angela Lansbury was a wonderful person. Her acting was excellent as she responded, listened to others in a scene and showed remarkable sensitivity. I loved the scripting, direction and overall excellence of "Murder, She Wrote." I would imagine that she had a great deal to do with selecting content, producers and directors. It seemed that she often reached into her own cast of friends when you saw the guest actors who she obviously met in the movie world and the Broadway theatre. She was an intelligent, kind person who cared about what she did and how it was projected. And she did not get caught up in a world of ill behavior in her roles. To have won the awards that she won, she would have had to be the best. Although I did not know her, she would be the kind of friend I would be proud to have.
Well said Kitty!
Beautifully said Kitty!
She was fantastic on Broadway in Mame.
We had second row front seats what a delightful night that was.
RIP, Auntie Mame⚘️🪑
@Martin well ...... Thank you for asking. I am doing well. I still think about the fabulous contributions that we saw in the life of Angela Lansbury. I really admire her personal character and her choice of roles in the theatre, movies and of course, TV with "Murder, She Wrote". Watching the latter, one would never have to be embarassed by the degradation of anything within the story line or words said by anyone. Truly remarkable and respecful to the audience. In this day and age, just finding respect and showing it toward our fellow man is a joy in itself! How are you doing?
@@kittypaladin570 How're you doing?i came across your profile while surfing through the site,...i thought of you being interesting to know, hope you don’t mind?😊
The word legend gets thrown around alot, but she truly is a legend.
Loved Angela’s acting. She was truly a professional and shared a warmth with us as viewers. May the angels sing her praises.
Brilliant actress! My condolences to family and friends. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent! Rest peacefully sweet Lady Angela!
Hi how are you doing?
Hello Arcenia, How're you doing?i came across your profile while surfing through the site,...i thought of you being interesting to know, hope you don’t mind?
We are losing way too many timeless treasures. Rest in peace Angela
Thank you dear Angela Landsbury. Your life's work has brought joy to millions. Ms. Landsbury was (and is) such an extremely likeable and rare talent. A rare person. Everyone loved her in her amazing roles and also in herself. Rest in Peace, we're missing you already.
Rest in peace Angela Lansbury you will be missed by thousands and many more to come
Staaahp I’m not crying
we have lost one of those rare people who unite the whole world, with his kindness, his education and his subtlety. it is a very sad day, we have all lost a family member.I believe that there is no one who does not love you, life takes its course, for everyone, but only a few will remain eternal. thanks Angela, for all the beauty you have brought. With love, from Italy ❤️😔💔
I was saddened to hear of the passing of Angela Landsbury but at 96, I guess she's led a full life longer than most. I thoroughly enjoy her in "Murder She Wrote" so much that I bought the entire series last spring and continue to enjoy watching it. RIP Ms. Lansbury. Thank you for your gift of entertainment to the world.
I thought she would live forever! 😭 Love her! 💜
Me too!!! 😢
No One Does.
She will! In our hearts and minds...her legacy is safe ❤️ 🙏 ♥️

What a sweetheart and a treasure. Thank you, Angela. Rest well.
The very first Broadway musical I ever saw was Sweeney Todd in 1979. What a way to be introduced to musical theater! She was fantastic! Goodbye to a great lady and a fantastic actress with boundless talent. 🎭🧡
Amen!
I remember in my senior year of high school in AP History and we watched "The Manchurian Candidate" in class. The whole class was shocked that Angela Lansbury was in the movie since we had only ever seen her on TV as Jessica Fletcher! Totally blew our 18 year old minds! RIP Angela Lansbury. You will be sorely missed.
😂
IP😅
They were shocked that there was a time when she was young.
Her Broadway work is superior to her television and film work
What a legend! Angela was a delightful actress and classy woman. Rest in Peace. 🕊
"Icon" can be an overused adjective when categorizing famous people. But it is absolutely accurate when describing Angela Lansbury. Her immense talent, versatility, and longevity ARE ICONIC. Her decency and humility as a person are obvious. She has earned the love and respect of audiences and peers during her lifetime, and this will continue long after her death. She is a timeless treasure!
Rest In Peace Angela you will be sadly missed.
Yes of course. Most times life doesn't give what we wish for. It's not a bed of roses. She will rest in peace. Hello to you as well. Got a beautiful smile (dentist)
She filled my childhood with joy as Jessica Fletcher. What a great actress and woman the World is losing. RIP dear Angela.
RIP Angela. This is a great interview, thank you.
What an absolute Icon.
Loved her in ‘Murder, she wrote’ and Beauty and the Beast. A real talent! ❤
Genuinely devastated. She was a true legend!
Love, love, love this fabulous woman! Rest in peace
RIP dear lady, I loved all of her work, she was a star!
I loved and idolized you as Jessica Fletcher, as a person, I held you up on a pedestal. I will continue to do so even now that you are gone, because your life truly inspires. Rest in peace.
The first time I saw Angela Lansbury was on the Sweeney Todd musical, and oh my God her performance blew me away. I knew from then that I'd watch anything she performs in. Thank you for this video that takes us through her long span of career (adding some movies to my list to watch). Her candid, no-fuss introspection on her career and family life is almost an anomaly in today's Hollywood. Rest in peace 🙏
I saw her in Sweeney Todd and she was absolutely Amazing
Your thoughtful comment on Angela is so accurate,you must be very wise yourself.Angela would be impressed!
She was one of the celebrities of the golden cinema, outstanding actress in theater, film, television, crowned with many distinctions throughout her 70 years of activity. I loved her very much. I respect and esteem Angela. Rest in peace!⚘
Hello Laura, How're you doing?i came across your profile while surfing through the site,...i thought of you being interesting to know, hope you don’t mind?
Legend of a woman!!! Thank you for all you did for this world. Rest well my lovely.
when an old person dies.. it's not their age that should affect you. When an old person dies.. we are losing: A library of knowledge. An ocean of wisdom. A link to the past. A time machine. A mirror. Our love. xo
I saw this yesterday on the NYT app and I was frustrated because I wanted to thank whomever put this together! What an amazing tribute and so well done!
A long and illustrious career! I just happened to watch " Gaslight " the other night, which was her first picture. She was seventeen at the time. A star of stage and screen, she also made her mark on television with her series, " Murder, she Wrote. " A lovely woman!
Rest in Peace Angela ✝️ thank you for transporting us to places like Cabot Cove etc via your great talent as an Actress. God rest your soul 🙏 Amen.
Sad we lost a beautiful, wonderful, funny,smart, so talented,an awesome person, a genuine classy lady. Love you Ms Angela ❤️🙏✝️
What a fantastic, talented woman. She will be deeply missed.
She will always be timeless. Her performances are better than on this days here on the U.S. RIP Dear Angela
A wonderful, multi-talented actress. She will be sorely missed.
@Martin well Do I know you?

@@sparkernut ok where can I connect with people I feel lonely 😞
Amazing tribute and so much amazing information about her. I love Angela Lansbury and love Murder she Wrote. I watch it almost every night. It was so wholesome. We don't have wholesome on tv now much.
Oh, thank you for taking us along with Angela Lansbury.....what a wonderful woman and wonderful actress.....You'll always be with us dear Angela--a true Angel.
Bedknobs and Broomsticks was my first love of Angela Landsbury. She was a remarkable performer in everything she did. Class, grace and humility were her greatest assets. RIP
RIP, I enjoy all your projects. You were so talented. You were the best in Murder She Wrote.

Great interview of one of the truly great actresses of our times. Thank you!
What a legend in so many ways! You will always be remembered 💖
Hi 👋 how are you doing?
Hello Heidi, How're you doing?i came across your profile while surfing through the site,...i thought of you being interesting to know, hope you don’t mind?
The Woman of such dignity, such sensitivity, such humor and such beauty! The Actress of such poise, such depth, such wit, and such ability to take the risks👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You will be remembered and you will be loved and continuously appreciated by generations to come♥️♥️♥️
I saw her first in Disney's Bed Knobs and Broomsticks. Her voice-over for Mrs Potts (the tea pot) in Beauty and the Beast fitted the character like a tea cosy. May she rest in peace.
I am watching " Murder She Wrote " as I listen to her biography. Every day from 7-11am she fills my morning hours with joy. Her character demonstrated what she was, a strong woman, which we will miss.
Angela Lansbury , was a great actress. I loved her in what ever movie she was in. Murrder she wrote was one of my favorite. She should have gotten a few more Oscar's. MAY she rest in peace.
A life well lived, and a gentle passing during sleep few get to have. That's the greatest reward one can get.
Rest in heavenly peace, Ms Lansbury, and thank you for all you did for the acting world and for humanity. May your soul shine forever. ✨
Someone said when she passed that she was a unique talent that was able to touch three different generations through her work. She really was like no other, a truly gifted woman. I’m glad we get to share in her talents.
I really loved Angela Lansbury. She seemed so down to earth & she was an incredible actress. It's not easy to go from comedy to drama & straight acting to singing & dancing. You really have to be good at your craft to pull that off & pull it off well, Ms. Lansbury did. She had a life well lived. I'll miss you, Jessica, RIP.
Legendary queen 👑
Rest in peace Angela Lansbury you will be missed by thousands and many more to come in the future
She’s a legend and will always been one of my favourite actors on 16th of October, I will not just be celebrating my birthday but hers as well. I remember when I used to constantly brag about how I have the same birthday as Angela Lansbury and nobody knew what I was on about RIP, Angela, you will be missed
ABSOLUTELY loved this womans work!! My mother made me aware of her she will be missed..RIP MA....
Well done, NYT! I grew up with her on Murder, She Wrote, and hadn’t known about her theatre roles until more recent years. Now I need to watch her films. What an amazing life, achieving so many great roles in a long career.
A good woman....a very good woman. ...the kind we wish we knew personally.
R.I.P Angela Lansbury😔🙏 I'll always remember your beautiful voice. My late father would always watch Murder She wrote on a regular basis. When I was very little watching Beauty and the Beast, I knew it was your voice as Mrs. Potts. I felt like you could've been my grandmother that would read bedtime stories to me. And I was so happy to see you in the movie The Return of Mary Poppins. So much love & prayers I send deeply from my heart to Ms. Lansbury and her family💖 Very much love from El Paso, TX
Thanks for the lovely post. I had seen Angela Lansbury in a few movies before Murder She Wrote started. Both l and my mother liked her, and we would watch the show together. We both enjoyed seeing the old actors who would come on the show as guest stars. Now I want to watch her movies and TV series again. I am so glad she and her second husband were such a good match. My parents were married about 24 years, but were a lousy match. We were all surprised that they didn't divorce much sooner. My father and stepmom were married for 39 years, and would be married still if he hadn't passed away a couple of years ago. They were a pretty good match. For the record, my stepmom had nothing to do with the divorce, so we get along with her, and yes, even with my father gone, she still counts as extended family.
I started life with many older relatives, and watching movies and TV shows whose actors were a good bit older than me. I've been to a lot of family funerals, and read a lot of actor obits in my over sixty years of life. Now I've lost another one to the Grim Reaper. Angela Lansbury will be missed. RIP Mrs. Fletcher.
A wise woman, a loving partner and an adorable mother. 🕯
She is such an inspiration! I love that most of the memorable and amazing things she did -she did when she was older. Life is full and she lived her's to the fullest.
I absolutely loved her acting she was amazing such a shame she’s no longer here
This was beautifully put together. She was a very intelligent and interesting woman. Rest in Peace Jessica 🙏
I watched MSW with my grandmother, who was a big fan of hers. Then I saw Bedknobs & Broomsticks, which I loved, but it wasn't until I saw Sweeney Todd as an adult that I really appreciated her talent. Rest well, Dame Angela. You were one of a kind.
She was knock Down Fantastic IDC what nobody says. I have known this beautiful woman since I was a child. I'm going to miss her, Rip Sweet lady, you will never be forgotten!!!!😭💔🙏🕊️💕
Rest Peacfully Angela lanburry
She’s an icon and always will. Rest In Peace ❤
A gifted talent that undertook endless projects with incredible charm and dialectical power. Distinctive and well drawn characters that were utterly believable really. From voice to every gesture. A rewarding artist that could carry a show or support it. Many of her roles frankly became so iconic we took it for granted. She left the world an incredible body of work much of it on film thankfully. RIP
She was one of my favorite actresses. I still watch her in Murder she wrote sometimes , and love it. RIP Ms Lansbury. Thank you for your honesty, integrity , you will be missed .
What a great lady, great actress. Gone but never forgotten. Rest in peace. ❤
Outstanding actress - RIP 🙏
Ohhh, the irony! I just love Angela Lansbury! She’s been my favorite actress since I was a kid. I don’t think there’s been anything she’s starred in that I haven’t loved. I cried when she passed on. I hope she knows how many people loved and still love her. Thank you for everything Miss Lansbury.
