Angela Lansbury, the London-born actress whose career spanned eight decades and included hits in film (“The Manchurian Candidate”), TV and theater (“Mame” and “Sweeney Todd”), has died at age 96.
Her family announced her death, saying she died early Tuesday morning “peacefully in her sleep at home in Los Angeles.”
A private family ceremony will be held at a date to be determined for Lansbury, who would have turned 97 on Sunday.
One of the last surviving stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age, Lansbury first rose to fame as an MGM player who nabbed Academy Award nominations for her first films roles, in 1944’s “Gaslight” and 1945’s “The Picture of Dorian Gray.”
