Angela Lansbury | Born: 1925

At a young age, Angela Lansbury already had quite a fascination for the arts, notably acting and music. For most of her childhood, she frequented the cinema and often impersonated her favorite characters. She also had an interest in the piano, leading her to take music classes.

With these earlier experiences ultimately becoming her first few investments for her eventual career, Lansbury then had the chance to take acting classes. There, she landed her first acting gigs, performing on stage plays such as Windermere’s Fan and The Way of the World. After some time, she finally made her way to on-screen projects, with her first roles being in 1944’s Gaslight and 1945’s The Picture of Dorian Gray. Since then, the actress has made quite a name for herself under the spotlight. With her most recent gig being in a 2019 stage production, a couple of notable projects Lansbury has worked on through the years include The Manchurian Candidate, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and The King and I.
