For some reason I thought she had already passed. RIP

Me too. Given she always played roles older than she was (back to the 1940s) she seemed so much older. RIP Angela.

She reminds me of Betty White, who also portrayed on screen characters that seemed to be older than Betty White her self.

I am familiar with watching Angela Lansbury from Murder She Wrote, who was perfectly willing and to continue Murder She Wrote for ever.

She also " appeared " as Paul McCartney on The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson.

Expect that song to get lots of airplay on the radio again, especially in the wake of her death.

The movie is pretty hokey now, with the overblown Commie scenes, but James Gregory and Angela Lansbury steal the show.
