Today all of the entertainment industry wishes the happiest of 90th Birthdays to Angela Lansbury. One of the most beloved stars of the past century, the divine lady's warmth, charm and acting skills have made her a top star in theatre, television and film.

A five time Tony Award winner, Lansbury has played a significant role as a Broadway ambassador on the annual Tony Award telecasts, hosting the show five times and always conveying the grace and glamour of live theatre to viewers who may never have attended.

Let's relive a few of Angela Lansbury's golden Tony moments, beginning with a 1975 performance of "Mame" where she gets a surprise visit from New York's former mayor, John Lindsay.

A vision of sophisticated glamour, Landsbury is joined by Larry Kert and Betty Buckley for this 1989 medley of great 11 o'clock numbers.

She opened that 1989 ceremony with a rousing chorus of "Everything's Coming Up Roses."

But perhaps the most beloved and magical Tony moment for the legendary star, was this 1987 reunion with her bosom buddy from MAME, Beatrice Arthur.
