His name was Andrew. Dark, wavy hair. Lips and skin of a Botticelli cherub. Too bad we were only five...
GH, that was GREAT! We loved it!
Brd...that is simply precious.
Sorry...had to slip away for a few.
It IS Angela! But "young and vibrant," DG? Angela always played older than she was, didn't she? (The stand-out exception: The Court Jester. LOVE that movie!)
One more exception, Miss P:
She also played the young innocent who was corrupted by Dorian Gray.
I am not very familiar with her work outside of BATB and Anastasia singing voices.
Oh, GH, I know there are many exceptions, but I just don't remember them! I DO remember The Court Jester because I've watched it over and over again. She was already in her 40s when she played Mame!
She gained Oscar nominations for her first two film roles in Gaslight(1943) and Picture of Dorian Gray (1944). MGM just didn't know what to do with her and she was stuck with minor and relatively unsuitable roles for most of her time at MGM.
In the 1960s, she had a string of excellent roles, including Manchurian Candidate (1962) and Dark at the Top of the Stairs. (1961)
It was only after these roles that she took to the Broadway stage and a legend was born.
Angela Lansbury is a wonderfully gifted performer. Her career is worth looking up.
But she might be returning to the NY stage... (hooray!)
I am going to bed, night all!
NIght, liotte!
Re: Angela returning to NY stage...
I'll faint.
Manchurian Candidate was amazing.
She was so very very evil.
That's what she says she wants to do! Now that her husband has passed away, she's moving back to NYC and hopes to find a suitable stage role! Let us pray.
I'll revive you, Your Oz-ness...
I cast her in my imaginary musical for my producing class today. Paid her quite well too, LOL!
LOL, very nice.
'night, y'all.
Well, if you ever really need her, just let know because she is my best friend. I have witnesses.
I can faint with confidence knowing that Cookie will revive me!
