Angela Lansbury
Angela Lansbury was born in Regent’s Park in 1925 and moved to the States with her widowed mother Moyna MacGill in 1940. She studied acting at the Feagin School of Drama and Radio in New York City and debuted with the 1944 thriller “Gaslight,” which got her an Academy Award nomination.
Lansbury played diverse roles throughout her career, but she’s most celebrated for her role as Laurence Harvey’s evil mother in “The Manchurian Candidate” (1962). Rising to immense heights with her Broadway career in 1957, Lansbury received the honorary Academy Award and was made Dame Commander of the British Empire in 2014.
