"Angela Lansbury" (born October 16, 1925) is a British actress and the granddaughter of politician George Lansbury.
She made her film debut in 1944, and has since enjoyed a long and varied career, mainly as a film actress, appearing in everything from ''Samson and Delilah'' to Disney's ''Bedknobs and Broomsticks''.Her performancein ''The Manchurian Candidate'' as the manipulative mother who turned her son into an assassin won much praise, as did her role as a similarly distant mother in the comedy, ''The World of Henry Orient''.She also played Miss Marple in ''The Mirror Crack'd''.
As Jessica Fletcher in the long-running television series, ''Murder, She Wrote'' (1984), she found her biggest success and a worldwide following.
