Press reset, live like Angela even if only for one day. You might start your day feeling like this… Returning to cinema as a freelance actress, Lansbury found herself typecast as an older, maternal figure, appearing in this capacity in most of her films from this period. [50] She later stated that "Hollywood made me old before my time", noting that in her twenties she was receiving fan mail from people who thought her in her forties. [51] She obtained minor roles in such films as A Life at Stake (1954), A Lawless Street (1955) and The Purple Mask (1955), later describing the latter as "the worst movie I ever made." [52] She played Princess Gwendolyn in the comedy film The Court Jester (1956), before taking on the role of a wife who kills her husband in Please Murder Me (1956). From there she appeared as Minnie Littlejohn in The Long Hot Summer (1958), and as Mabel Claremont in The Reluctant Debutante (1958), for which she filmed in Paris. [53] Biographer Martin Gottfried has claimed that it was these latter two cinematic appearances which restored Lansbury's status as an " A-picture actress." [54] Throughout this period, she continued making television appearances, starring in episodes of The Revlon Mirror Theater, Ford Theatre and The George Gobel Show, and became a regular on game show Pantomime Quiz.

But my husband recognised the signals in me which said 'I've been doing enough gardening, I've cooked enough good dinners, I've sat around the house and mooned about what more interior decoration I can get my fingers into.' It's a curious thing with actors and actresses, but suddenly the alarm goes off. My husband is a very sensitive person to my moods and he recognised the fact that I had to get on with something. Mame came along out of the blue just at this time. Now isn't that a miracle?.

Throughout the video, Angela Lansbury seems very happy, sincere and encouraging. Seeing that she is still working and making appearances in 2017, I do believe she practiced the lifestyle she describes in this film. David, Richard. 'Chapter 5.

As a young actress, Lansbury was a self-professed homebody, [224] who commented that she loved housekeeping. [225] She preferred to spend quiet evenings with her friends inside her house because she did not like to engage in Hollywood nightlife. [226] Her hobbies at the time included reading, riding, playing tennis, cooking, and playing the piano; she also had a keen interest in gardening. [227] She cited F. Scott Fitzgerald as her favourite author, [228] and Roseanne and Seinfeld among her favourite television shows. [229] Lansbury was an avid letter writer who wrote letters by hand and made copies of all of them.

Following the success of Gaslight and The Picture of Dorian Gray, MGM cast Lansbury in 11 further films until her contract with the company ended in 1952. Keeping her among their B-list stars, MGM used her less than their similar-aged actresses; Lansbury biographers Rob Edelman and Audrey E. Kupferberg believed that the majority of these films were "mediocre", doing little to further her career. [33] This view was echoed by Cukor, who believed Lansbury had been "consistently miscast" by MGM. [34] She was repeatedly made to portray older women, often villainous, and as a result she became increasingly dissatisfied with working for MGM, commenting that "I kept wanting to play the Jean Arthur roles, and Mr Mayer kept casting me as a series of venal bitches." [35] The company was suffering from the post-1948 slump in cinema sales, as a result slashing film budgets and cutting their number of staff. [35] Republic Studio, Daniel J.

British and American actress Angela Lansbury was known for her prolific work in theatre, film, and television. Before the word lost all meaning, Gaslight meant one thing: an Ingrid Bergman psychological thriller in which her husband convinces her she’s going insane so he can steal her family’s fortune. The 19-year-old Lansbury nabbed a Best Supporting Actress nomination in her first screen outing for her role as the downright bitchy maid Nancy, who’s all too happy to flirt with Bergman’s man and give her some serious glares.
