The American Ireland Fund Heritage Awards dinner honouring Angela Lansbury at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California on November 4, 1993.
"I'm eternally grateful for the Irish side of me. That's where I got my sense of comedy and whimsy. As for the English half , that's my reserved side. But put me onstage, and the Irish comes out." - Angela Lansbury
I was a lifetime fan of Angela Lansbury. I saw her in Gypsy when I was drama student at cal state at 18. My friend and I got backstage and were stopped by a guard. And I yelled. “We’re drama students from cal state”. And she yelled. Let them in. So I got to meet her backstage. She was having tea of course with her pinky up. Such a real lady This was long before she captured me with Murder she wrote I was in Georgia seeing Winona Judd concert when I heard she passed. I went to my room and cried for an hour. She never knew it. But she was a dear friend of mine!!!! Miss that darling woman
