Angela Lansbury, the London-born actress who for seven decades brought a commanding, ladylike presence to stage, screen and television — especially over the 12 years she played dauntless mystery novelist Jessica Fletcher on CBS' Murder, She Wrote — has died. She was 96.

"The children of Dame Angela Lansbury are sad to announce that their mother died peacefully in her sleep at home in Los Angeles at 1:30 a.m. today, Tuesday, October 11, 2022, just five days shy of her 97th birthday," her family says in a statement obtained by PEOPLE.

"In addition to her three children, Anthony, Deirdre and David, she is survived by three grandchildren, Peter, Katherine and Ian, plus five great grandchildren and her brother, producer Edgar Lansbury," the statement adds. "She was proceeded in death by her husband of 53 years, Peter Shaw. A private family ceremony will be held at a date to be determined."

RIP Judy Tenuta  funny lady... Rosanne Barr owes her a lot.

 

 

You are absolutely correct about the Rosanne Barr connection. Growing up watching and evening at the improv, or the number of comedy specials we could get back in the early and mid 80’s, she was as funny as it gets. Not to mention being beautiful. RIP Judy.

Angela was beautiful and it is crazy to think she was 96 years old. What a great life to have lived. God bless her and her family. That’s another person from the 80’s that was just a fixture in my childhood. That has to mean that I’m getting old. Awesome to see her star on the walk of fame Strider.
