Angela Lansbury
![Lansbury in 1950](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/28/Studio_publicity_Angela_Lansbury.jpg)
Lansbury was born into an upper-middle-class family in central London, the daughter of Irish actress Moyna Macgill and English politician Edgar Lansbury. To escape the Blitz, she moved to the United States in 1940, studying acting in New York City. Proceeding to Hollywood in 1942, she signed to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) and obtained her first film roles, in ''Gaslight'' (1944), ''National Velvet'' (1944), and ''The Picture of Dorian Gray'' (1945). She appeared in 11 further MGM films, mostly in minor roles, and after her contract ended in 1952, she began to supplement her cinematic work with theatrical appearances. Lansbury was largely seen as a B-list star during this period, but her role in ''The Manchurian Candidate'' (1962) received widespread acclaim and is frequently ranked as one of her best performances. Moving into musical theatre, Lansbury gained stardom for playing the leading role in the Broadway musical ''Mame'' (1966), winning her first Tony Award and becoming a gay icon.
Amid difficulties in her personal life, Lansbury moved from California to Ireland's County Cork in 1970. She continued to make theatrical and cinematic appearances throughout that decade, including leading roles in the stage musicals ''Gypsy'', ''Sweeney Todd'', and ''The King and I'', as well as in the Disney film ''Bedknobs and Broomsticks'' (1971). Moving into television in 1984, she achieved worldwide fame as the sleuth Jessica Fletcher in the American whodunit series ''Murder, She Wrote'', which ran for twelve seasons until 1996, becoming one of the longest-running and most popular detective drama series in television history. Through Corymore Productions, a company that she co-owned with her husband Peter Shaw, Lansbury assumed ownership of the series and was its executive producer during its final four seasons. She also moved into voice work, contributing to animated films like ''Beauty and the Beast'' (1991) and ''Anastasia'' (1997). In the 21st century, she toured in several theatrical productions and appeared in family films such as ''Nanny McPhee'' (2005) and ''Mary Poppins Returns'' (2018).
Among her numerous accolades were six Tony Awards (including a Lifetime Achievement Award), six Golden Globe Awards, a Laurence Olivier Award, and the Academy Honorary Award, in addition to nominations for three Academy Awards, eighteen Primetime Emmy Awards, and a Grammy Award.
