Angela Lansbury talks about "Gaslight" (her 1st movie)

[UglySean]

Ms. Lansbury is one of the sexiest women alive. Wow what a hottie.

I'm in love.

[FORZAISRAELE]

I M CRAZY FOR GASLIGHT FILM... AND I LOVE TRILLERS TARGED 40/50

[whispperson]

Angela Lansbury Should be a Dame Angela Lansbury.

[lafilledaramus]

@whispperson She's a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE); it's not dame but she is recognized as one of the great ones.

[Gunshinzero]

Man, she looked good back then and looks good on this interview too

[qweensarah]

wow shes awesome i love it

[mrspatrickcampbell]

when was this interview filmed?

[goodguyfun]

Angela is a terrible actress, but her early wok was excellent, and her musical theatre is simply the best. Just a specialized type of actress.

[LeonSKennedy828]

@goodguyfun What about her role as Mrs Potts in Beauty and the Beast?

[alexalex3131]

Gaslight is on youtube. It's very old and very good. Angela so cool in it hard to believe she was 17!

[22thespian]

Im 17, and its enfuriating that no one my age knows who Angela Lansbury is. I absolutely adore her. Shes such a phenomenal actress, Im stunned every time I see her in a different role.

[palijim]

Why isn't Angela Lansbury "Dame" Angela Lansbury?

[callie2003]

It does seem wrong and i agree she should be. However as Angela became an American Citizen in the 1950's that effectively renounced her British Citizenship with regards to Damehoods etc. Occasionally an Honourary CBE will be given to a non British Professional which Angela has received. Ironically Elizabeth Taylor was granted the title of Dame even tho her parents are American and she lived in the UK for only a short time.

[callie2003]

Liz Taylor was honoured with the title as she was born on British Soil to American parents and therefore has dual Citizenship. Irrespective of whether Angela has become an American Citizen she is still British and i feel should be Damed but historically it is unlikely. When Anthony Hopkins became an American Citizen after being Knighted there were calls for his Knighthood to be revoked as it was seen that he had turned his back on his Country...its nonsense but there you go...

[millie73]

Absolutely! why why why. I'd love that to happen :-)

[lizaelliot]

Would the Kennedy Center Honors be America's equivelant?

[palijim]

With Caroline Kennedy as host, hehe I don't think so. That's more a variety show.

[dmce1]

@palijim Yes, she should certainly be a Dame. I wonder if she's been overlooked due to her becoming a naturalised US citizen over 50 years ago & hasn't lived in the UK (& therefore not paid UK taxes) for over 70 years. I don't think it means she's ineligible but it will take longer. On the other hand, coming from a strongly left wing background in UK politics she may have been offered it & declined, notwithstanding her CBE. (Helen Mirren rejected a CBE but later accepted a damehood).

[terradisiena]

What a pleasure to hear about a time and a cinema that don't exist anymore from someone who was actually there. And what a lady! She's amazing.

[Moseslawgiver]

She said she would love to do a Murder, She Wrote movie.

But you know what, I think they should make it for the big screen. I have always wanted to see the adventures of J.B Fletcher up on the silver screen.

[blondfashionista]

It's so great to see young fans who are so well-rounded and see the grace and beauty of classics and such icons as Angela Landsbury...I recommend you watch 'Picture of Dorian Gray'...You'll like her performance in it - She sings...

[LittleLaura1994]

I just LOVE Angela. Im 15 and i was about 7 when i saw her first in mrs santa claus. From then she has been my idol. I LOVE LOVE LOVE her xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[anglocub]

I think I first noticed her in The Picture of Dorian Gray. Superb actress.

[Teezer44]

Im only 19, but i am a massive admirer of Angela Lansbury. she has had an EXTRAORDINARY career and life, shes worked with everyone from Judy Garland, Bette Davis ,Elvis, Julie Andrews etc..i hope she puts out an autobiography as i would sooo love to read it. Angela - A living legend.

[mrlowdangle]

jessica feltcher is a scary beast! people die when she's aboot!

dont say u wernt warned!

[TheMikester307]

Ahhhh! I first saw Lansbury in "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" when I was about 11. Later I saw her on "Murder She Wrote." She has always been gorgeous and a totally perfect professional in her craft.

[jake110897124816]

She Looks like she would be a great Grandmother!

[stevenc123]

Until somebody gets murdered when she visits.

[FlashDotDash]

This is an amazing movie.

I love her in 'The Harvey Girls'.

X's

[lafilledaramus]

Check her out in the Manchurian Candidate with Frank Sinatra!

[MuscleDaddyCMH]

@lafilledaramus

Oh yes thanks for saying this - she was WAY scarier than Meryl Streep years later!!!!

[operastar1994]

I'M a big Angela Lansbury fan and i am 14 i have been a fan of her since i was 7

[FlashDotDash]

That's cool.

I'm nineteen and she's my favourite actress ever.

[iloveangelalansbury]

wow amazing!, what a beautiful woman :) and what an inspitarion for make your dreams come true :) by preparation and work :).

I'm 22 and I'm her fan :)

[tracer740]

Interesting that this lovely creature has 'aged' in such a way that her beauty, warmth and comeliness are reflected still in a mature and very attractive presence. She is truly blessed and may she be with us eternally...

[TiMeCapsule123]

I'm watching Murder, She wrote at the moment (as well as being on YouTube) can't stop watching the program although i'm not even 15. It's one of my favorite progams!

PS: Was Angela in Nanny Mcphee aswell or not?

[hipoo12]

Yes. She played Aunt Adelaide (wearing a prosthetic nose piece).

[9aspengold5]

To begin a career at age 18 surrounded by the very best of that generation had to awesome. Movies aren't made like that anymore. What a shame. We could do with some Class and excellent writing again.

[operastar1994]

what you met her you lucky person i am 14 and i am huge fan snd i no i will never get to met her.

[Museleaders]

i am 13 she is my fav actress of ALL TIME my inspiration for acting, i got her autograph by mail, but unfortuantly angela will most likely be close to death by the time we could meet her *cry* my mom is form NY and saw her in Sweeney todd when she dies i will cry and not go to school, DONT DIE ANGELA WE LUV U!!!

[bishopboy89]

shes AMAZING!!!!!!!!! i LOVE her!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[MrDirector]

She is just THE best. I had to pleasure to meet her once and she was the nicest person you can imagine.

[leleonora76]

Angela is great..

[lefevbre]

[genatzvalee]

She is about 80, maybe a bit older.

[Headmaster900]

She's 82

[angelalansburyfan620]

Yep. She'll be 83 in October

[IngridBergmanRocked]

Im a BIG Angela Lansbury fan too...what a very talented lady!

Thanks:)!

[barkingtree88]

She was kinda cute.

[murray132006]

Thanks for uploading this interesting interview. I love Angela. I didn't know she received an oscar nomination for her first film. Of course she deserves it. :)

[ImpatraZ]

Angela received an Oscar nomination for her very first film!

[CornCob6000]

Saggy.

[Leanne60]

Very interesting interview. You would never know Angela wasn't a Brit. in some of her movies. The cockney she uses in Gaslight is on the money. Very recognizable voice. Thanks.

[adriantrench]

but she is a brit. she was born and raised in the UK

[Leanne60]

This is such an awesome movie. All did a great job, but I think Charles Boyer was the standout in this, evil as he was. He's hilarious in Barefoot in the Park. Very versatile, having seen him in other roles too. Great actor. Gaslight, one of my very favs. Thanks so much for posting.

[cherrocks]

she's an awesome actress and woman.

Thank you so much for posting, "Gaslight" is one of my favorite movies

[Shadepuppy]

I was a teen when I first saw "Gaslight" on TV - I watched because I was a huge fan of Ingrid Bergman, and really liked Charles Boyer. I love the movie, I love their performances, but I also was captivated by the character that Angela Lansbury played - I remembered her from that performance as I later watched her in "...Dorian Gray" and "Harvey Girls" and then in contemporary films and the rest of her career.

[Mobee211]

I love Angela! One of the most talented actresses ever IMO

[LunaSeaSane]

Great interview.

[CarrotTopUK]

I Love Angela Lansburyy.. goood ol' English actresses :]

[xocolatl3409]

Interesting!!!Thank goodness for Youtube!

[rickram1961]

Gaslight is one of my favorite movies. Terrific story and a very talented cast. They don't make good movies like this anymore.

[SteeleaFan]

I had no idea that Angela was in a movie with Ingrid..that is sooo weird.

[10Cnote]

She deserves every award she has ever recieved.

[T00young]

It was very interesting to listen to Angela's story. Thank you

[mafialm]

thanks thanks
