RIP.

I'll always remember her as the voice of Mrs. Potts.

 

 

I'm going to assume that the headline is going to be "Death, We Write", or something like that.

Not unexpected, yet still really sad. I thought she was fantastic in The Manchurian Candidate.

Ah bugger. Loved Murder, She Wrote growing up and she was iconic as Mrs Potts: Beauty and the Beast is a wonderful song gorgeously delivered. And, of course, there was so much else besides. Incredible she was still working only 3 or 4 years ago.

 

Rest in Peace, Dame Angela.

Yet you are bound to see dozens of "random 97-year-old on the list is obviously healthy, drop them next year" DL posts before Christmas.

So sad to lose her,  but she had a good long life- we watched Murder She Wrote every week, it was my husband's favorite show!  Only my 4th hit this year!!!!

She was incredible!

 

Mostly loved her from her Disney fare: Beauty and the Beast, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and Mary Poppins Returns.

 

Really sad!

Sad, but not unexpected. Hope not another 2 weeks of wailing and queuing?

Everyone says how sad it is that she died. She lived to almost 97, in her sleep, surrounded by family. She had a great life and was admired by so many on this earth. Now she knows the seceret. I say it is a happy day that she finally has shed this mortal coil and is living the life we all dream of. I say, Congratulations Dame Lansdbury, job well done!

Her role as Jessica Fletcher is legendary, so much so that it still plays on tv today.

 

R..I.P Angela.

Looks like I was right to trust what I read on a gossip forum and post here.

Any news on what exactly she was suffering from?

Not  really. The information  I read suggested she had little energy and was sleeping  most of the time. The zest and engagement  from a few years before was leaving  her.

Not completely unexpected, but I hoped she would reach 100.  I'm sad.  RIP

 

Watched Murder She Wrote with my grandmother back in the day.  Good-bye Jessica Fletcher.
