She’s great in everything. Murder She Wrote was a great family series, and on Broadway as Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd she was perfection. Her performance inThe Manchurian Candidate was one of the all time great evil women.
She’s a national treasure, IMHO!!
After seeing that movie, Manchurian Candidate, I've never been able to watch any Angelia Lansbury performance. She traumatized me. Really!
I guess that's a sideways compliment.
She was only three years older than the actor who played her son, played by Laurence Harvey. She did a good job.
