Angela Lansbury 10 Fast Facts, Bio, Wiki
On The Dick Cavett Show in 1971, Lansbury said that she spoke in a Cockney English accent when she moved to the United States but since then, she had “lost” her original native accent. She held Irish citizenship. Biographer Martin Gottfried characterized her as “Meticulous. Cautious. Self-editing. Deliberate. It is what the British call reserved”, adding that she was “as concerned, as sensitive, and as sympathetic as anyone might want in a friend”. Also noting that she had “a profound sense of privacy”, he added that she disliked attempts at flattery. Lansbury was married twice, first to actor Richard Cromwell, when she was nineteen and Cromwell was 35. They eloped and they were married in a small civil ceremony on 27 September 1945. They divorced in 1946, but they remained friends until his death in 1960. In 1949, Lansbury married actor and producer Peter Shaw, and they remained together for 54 years until his death in 2003. She acquired a stepson, David, from Shaw’s first marriage. They had two children of their own, Anthony Peter (b. 1952) and Deirdre Ann (b. 1953). While Lansbury repeatedly stated that she wanted to put her children before her career, she admitted that she frequently had to leave them in California for long periods of time when she was working elsewhere. She brought up her children to be Episcopalian, but they were not members of a congregation. She stated, “I believe that God is within all of us, that we are perfect, precious beings, and that we have to put our faith and trust in that.” In the latter part of the 1960s, Anthony and Deirdre became involved in the growing counterculture movement and started using recreational drugs. Deirdre developed an acquaintance with the Manson family, and Anthony became addicted to cocaine and heroin, he overcame both addictions in 1971. After he recovered, Anthony became a television director and he directed 68 episodes of Murder, She Wrote. Deirdre married a chef, and together they opened a restaurant in West Los Angeles. Lansbury had three grandchildren and five great-grandchildren at the time of her death in 2022. Lansbury was a cousin of the Postgate family, including the animator, writer, and social activist Oliver Postgate. She was also a second cousin of the academic and novelist Coral Lansbury, whose son Malcolm Turnbull was Prime Minister of Australia from 2015 to 2018. As a young actress, Lansbury was a self-professed homebody, who commented that she loved housekeeping. She preferred to spend quiet evenings with her friends inside her house because she did not like to engage in the Hollywood nightlife. Her hobbies at the time included reading, riding, playing tennis, cooking, and playing the piano; she also had a keen interest in gardening. She cited F. Scott Fitzgerald as her favourite author, and Roseanne and Seinfeld among her favourite television shows. Lansbury was an avid letter writer who wrote letters by hand and made copies of all of them. At Howard Gotlieb’s request, Lansbury’s papers are housed at the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center at Boston University. Lansbury was a supporter of the Democratic Party in the United States, describing herself as a “Democrat from the ground up”, and of the Labour Party in her native United Kingdom. Throughout her career, Lansbury supported a variety of charities, particularly, she supported charities which helped Abused Wives in Crisis and combated domestic abuse and she also supported charities which worked towards rehabilitating drug users. In the 1980s, she began to support a number of charities engaged in the fight against HIV/AIDS. In her early life, Lansbury was a chain smoker, but she conquered her addiction to smoking in the mid-1960s. In 1976 and 1987, she underwent cosmetic surgery on her neck in order to prevent it from broadening with age. During the 1990s, she began to suffer from arthritis. Lansbury underwent hip replacement surgery in May 1994 and knee replacement surgery in 2005. Lansbury died in her sleep at her home in Los Angeles, California, on 11 October 2022 at 01:30 PDT, five days before her 97th birthday.
