Here’s to many happy years and great roles to come!

Dame Angela is a true acting legend and beautiful, kind human being.

How lucky are we all that she continues to share her incredible talent with us all over the world. There is simply no one like her. Brava!

 

I feel there should be a theatre named after her.

Happy birthday to the most wonderful person in the world, Dame Angela "Mame" Lansbury!

And yes, she absolutely deserves a theatre named after her! It should be the Winter Garden, because after all, she has played both Mame and Gypsy there and won Tonys for both performances.

One of our true legendary STARS!

 

Amazing to think she's been in show business since the 40s, and is still going strong.

From today article in Guardian:  

"There may be further curtain calls in her 90s. She is reported to be having conversations with the director Michael Grandage over a possible production in London or New York of Enid Bagnold’s drama, The Chalk Garden. Lansbury would play an ancient matriarch, Mrs St Maugham, a role that seems suited to her apart from the fact that the theatrical dame would have to age-down for a role that has generally been played by actors in their 70s.''
