This is one of the better interviews I've seen because the interviewers don't interrupt and make it about them. They also don't use long set ups to their questions.
RIP beautiful monster, hurts like hell when we have to say good bye mostly when such a gifted performer used to use us get entertained, having so much to give, having so much fun to entertain us, yeah, a huge inspiration, She was a great Lady indeed. Her voice was iconic, the perfect nanny, the most delightful...company dame for sure. Most of the times theater seems to us such a fake unreal universe. . she had the gift to make it so funny, we could never live without it
Angela Lansbury is so impressive. Such charm and intelligence. This is a great half hour. I'm surprised that the musical version of "Blithe Spirit", which was called "High Spirits", wasn't mentioned. I saw it in 1964, when I was in high school. Madame Arcati was played by Beatrice Lillie, who was quite a character. I would have loved to hear what Ms. Lansbury might have said about her.
A perspicacious actress, extremely talented from an early age throughout her entire life which obviously attracted the attention of those who witnessed/felt her character in performances. Sui generis woman & career seemingly so together & dignified in a superficial, tough milieu of men in systems of raw ambitions & money.
When tickets for Blithe Spirit in London starring Angela Lansbury went on sale, I was delighted and for some stupid reason I didn't book them straight away and by the time I got to looking into it, it was too late and I missed my chance to see her. I still regret it to this day!
I have the video of Gaslight with Angela Lansbury as the maid when Charles Boyer was driving Ingrid Bergman (his wife) crazy. This is such an interesting interview.

If I could get a message to Angela Lansbury it would be. I want to thank your family. For making murder she wrote the best show on the planet. I’d like to thank your brother. And your two sons and God bless your late husband. Murder she wrote would not exist without them and certainly not without you. Jessica Fletcher is the most wonderful character that you’ve ever played and if. There is anyone that I had left out. Then I apologize and I would like to say thank you to all of those that I forgot about. I have all 12 seasons of murder she wrote. And I love your character. Angela thank you so much for the 12 wonderful years of murder she wrote. I will carry that with me for the rest of my life. It’ll remain in my heart forever and I will definitely and always. Remain a loyal fan of you. And your character Jessica Beatrice Fletcher of Cabot Cove Maine the best darn. Murder mystery novelist I’ve ever watched.
Agreed! Charles Ludlam, the genius writer/actor/director behind the Ridiculous Theatrical Company in NYC was the greatest comic actor I ever had the good fortune to see, whether in male or (frequently) female roles. And thinking about Angela Lansbury's insightful comments about comedy and tragedy in this interview, Charles out-Garboed Greta Garbo as Marguerite Gautier (the Lady of the Camellias) in the great renunciation scene... hilarious and gut-wrenching at the same time. Some of my fondest memories as an audience member during those years are of the blissful hours spent in that basement theater in Sheridan Square. R.I.P., Charles.
+Easy Aspi I don't know if Dame Angela had any dance training, but it seems that dancers seem to maintain their flexibility and balance through late life...perhaps it's also the day to day routines which early dance training made mandatory. Saw Angela with the late Marian Seldes in DEUCE.
I have nothing but respect for this woman. She's not only a great actress, but she seems to be REAL, GENUINE. She exudes class.

I saw the show and she was magnificent as in every show I have seen: Mame, Dear World, Sweeney Todd, Gypsy, and Blithe Spirit. A great actress.
I am so envious you had the joy of seeing her in all those shows! I was born at the wrong time!
Saw this production Lansbury was absolutely amazing. Watching a Broadway LEGEND was something else
Deserved her 5th Tony hands down! Love this brilliant lady1
Intelligent, witty, kind, talented - I loved this powerhouse of an actress so much.
I got to see her on this play. I went just because of her. I feel so blessed to have seen her live.

Such a great actress, and such history. Thanks for posting.
Isn’t it great just how normal this great Star is in conversation.
She is a class act!

I saw her do this play in Los Angeles in 2014 when she had just turned 89 and she was phenomenal. ❤
And she got the Tony! R.I.P Angela
I am 21. I love her too. A wonderful lady. A real talent.

Angela's a brilliant actress.her english accent really comes through here.
I just adore you, Dame Angela!
Just seen Blithe Spirit at the Gielgud Theatre , London. Great play, wonderful cast.But there's no doubt that Dame Angela is the star.
I saw her performance in Blithe Spirit at the Gielgud on Saturday... fabulous experience and she had a well deserved ovation. Loved it!
‘Have you seen the remake?’
‘Yes.’
‘And?’
‘No.’
😂❤️
WOW! WHAT CAN ONE SAY ABOUT GREATNESS, EXCEPT "THANK YOU" FOR HAVING IT!

"I'm a good girl, I am."
She also won an Olivier Award in the London run, she was in tears
An amazing lady!

Анжела-прекрасная актриса и замечательный человек.В трудную минуту всегда смотрю ,,Она написала убийство",лучшее лекарство от тяжёлых мыслей.
16:59 😆 😆 omg thank you 😆 my first actual laugh-out-loud (while Alone) of the day
her plays are fun and ....fun!!!
Have Dame Angela do a NEW Murder She Wrote series. Cheers Angela!
I love Susan's cute lisp. :)
THE BEST!!
Just saw Blithe Spirit at the Stratford Festival with Seana McKenna as Madam Arcati. A fantastic play, and a wonderful character.
Younger than Springtime, wiser than wise.
The producer, Susan Haskins, looks like Sally Fields to me. Especially when she smiles.
She is smart

"ph yes, but then who could have been vera charles ' Priceless comment from Susan Haskins. Now that I think about it maybe Charles Ludlom !

she has certainly not aged much over the years
If at all, quite gracefully.

Check out her musical comedy clips on RUclips and you'll be astounded.
She knows her colors. That dusky rose makes her skin glow.
Angela Lansbury took dance lessons when she was young and I think she studied for quite a while.
Dame Angela now!
We love you I wish I could meet you
why did Michael r. leave this tv show?
I rather enjoyed his pizazz and gusto
And I agree!
oops . should have done spellcheck. I meant "Oh yes ... "
Please come back as JB Fletcher!!!!! #murdershewrote
Yes...No.
an impersonation of dame margaret rutherford
She's a class act!
