Angela Lansbury
Angela Brigid Lansbury
October 16, 1925
London, England
She has one half-sister, Isolde, from her mother's first marriage to Reginald Denham. Isolde was married to Peter Ustinov, with whom she had one daughter, Tamara Ustinov, Lansbury's niece.
Angela was a longtime friend of the late Bob Hope and gave a speech at his memorial service on 27 August 2003. She and Hope appeared on Bob Hope: The First 90 Years (1993) (TV), and she sang with him.
A recent authorized biography, "Balancing Act", states that Angela's first husband, Richard Cromwell was gay, a fact she didn't know until after their separation.

I'm in a very enviable position, being able to work like this 45 years later. It's always beginning! I never have a sense of finishing up, just new things beginning. When I die, they're going to carry me off a stage.
Angela Lansbury
