THE UK’S NEW Year’s Honours list has been released, and for the first time ever features more women than men. One of those women, is Angela Lansbury who is set to become a Dame for her services to drama, charitable work and philanthropy.
It’s about bloody time! Angela Lansbury is a treasure, a gift to this planet, and here’s why.
She started her career as a glamorous starlet but has maintained a career into her late 80s
Seriously, she lives just outside Ballycotton where she and her family ‘started a whole new life’ more than 30 years ago.
Her portrayal of apprentice with Eglantine Price in Bedknobs and Broomsticks was magical
She didn’t particularly want to hang out with kids, but she tolerated them anyway and eventually gave them an adventure the likes of which we all dreamed of.
She wore incredible outfits like this in Jewel of the Nile
She has won more Tony awards than anyone, with five under her belt
