THE Dame

"I've never been particularly aware of my age. It's like being on a bicycle - I just put my foot down and keep going."

It is our supreme Patron Saint Dame Angela Lansbury's 96th birthday today.

All hail!

  2. 96! Say it isn't so! Adored her vocal performance as the mayor in Anyone Can Whistle and my all-time favorite, Dear World. Her musical career was rather an amazing one. Thank you for celebrating this. Kizzes.

    1. My favourite role of hers was (of course) Mame - she was robbed when Lucille-bloody-Ball got the leading role in the film adaptation! Jx

    1. I hope she was able to enjoy her birthday, although somehow at 96, I doubt it was much of a "rave"... Jx

  4. The black-and-white outfit she wore to sing 'Bosom Buddies' with Bea Arthur at the Tony Awards a decade or so ago was a genius design to hide any figure flaws in an older woman. She looked terrific!

    1. A "decade or so ago"?! Try "three-and-a-half decades ago" - it was in 1987!

      The dress was fantastic, I agree. I'd hazard a guess that it may have been Bob Mackie, but I am not sure... Jx
