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.

Re: *CANDIDS*
That's all very nice that she's such a humanitarian, but I'm talking about Lansbury the actress, and I've never cared for her in that capacity. There were plenty of other actresses who played bad women, and I enjoy their performances. I have always found Lansbury unappetizing in apperance, and nothing she does in her roles mitigates that aversion for me. I do not believe a word she says onscreen, and I couldn't abide that clumsily arch, self-congratulatory TV show of hers, either. All I see from her is show-offy preening, not acting. I think she sings like a squawking chicken, too. I can't see what all the adulation is about. Is it because she's old? Old is definitely in these days -- just ask the 20-somethings who think they invented Betty White.ken123 wrote: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.

One positive thing I can say for Lansbury is that she is not show-offy about her good works, and practices her altruism with a minimum of fuss and publicity. That's rare these days.
