Stage and screen icon Angela Lansbury has passed away at the age of 96.
Legendary actress Angela Lansbury, one of the most tenured actresses ever with iconic roles spanning across television, film, and theater, has died at age 96. Known for dazzling audiences in a variety of roles ranging from a soviet spy to an amateur writer/detective and a singing teapot, she had an extraordinarily diverse career across the industry, becoming one of the most recognizable faces out there. Her death was announced on Twitter by Ali Velshi.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY From a young age, Lansbury was enamored with acting and film, with her mother a regular on the West End stage. She would follow in her mother's footsteps, becoming a lauded theater presence in her own right by taking home five Tony Awards. It all kicked off in 1957 with Hotel Paradiso, and she'd go on to appear in a number of acclaimed productions including Gypsy, Dear World, and Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
She'd land her first on-screen role at only 17, immediately making her presence known in the film Gaslight in 1944. That role would kick off a fruitful career that saw her nominated for three Academy Awards including for that debut role as well as The Picture of Dorian Gray in 1945 and The Manchurian Candidate in 1962. Many viewers got to know the actress's excellent singing voice in 1991 with the Disney animated classic Beauty and the Beast where she'd voice Mrs. Potts.
Lansbury made an indelible impact within the industry, changing the game whether as a storied theater giant or a groundbreaking super sleuth. Collider sends its best wishes to her friends and family.
