Not talking about myself with that title.
No, I mean Angela Lansbury. You know - that little old lady who sang under water on an old bed and solved murder upon murder accross America...?
YES that one... |
Well I have always thought of Ange Lans as being 'old'. Maybe because as a young child I percieved anyone who dressed like my Nan to actually BE old! The neck scarves and mid-length skirts along with the semi perm suggested to my young mind that she was and would always be a kind faced old lady who looked and sounded a bit like my Nanny Ruth.

But after a rather excited chat about the Disney film 'Bedknobs and Broomsticks' a few weeks back with my boyfriend, we decided to Google search her. Along with the expected film stills of the lady in the film bewitching a pair od shoes or conversing with a cartoon fish, we came accross these beauties showing that good old Ange wasn't always old!!

Well I think she's bloody brilliant! She is one of our greatest stars and with such a long running career she deserves lots and lots of admiration. So much have I researched the old photographs and movies, that I have become a bit obcessed with her!!
