I'm just going to watch the two Miss Marple movies I DVR'd earlier today.
Looking at that cast photo of The Harvey Girls, it is totally beyond the scope of my understanding why Angela Lansbury did not become one of the very top 'A' list actresses of her day. She was so beautiful . . . were casting directors blind or are the stories about the couches true if you didn't 'use them'? I know that beauty was not the only requisite, but the fact is that she could act too, as well as fill out a gown with perfection. Go figure. . . .

Always interesting what we see in our stars, Anne.
To me Lansbury has always looked like a snarky pug dog. Not a face I'd ever call beautiful. Not a performer I've ever felt any warmth from.

Re: *CANDIDS*
My late wife adored Angela, my mother didnt like her at all because MsLansbury played so many tramps, the other woman, saloon girls or variations, the music hall singer in The Picture of Dorian Gray, but when my mother found out about MsLs sons drugg addict and her efforts to have him rehabitlated she became a new fan. Both of them loved Murder, She Wrote. Me a fan, of sorts. Her father was Labor Party leader in the uk, before WW2.jdb1 wrote:Always interesting what we see in our stars, Anne.
