Dame Angela Lansbury, best known to a generation for the series Murder, She Wrote, and who won children's hearts as the voice of Mrs.
Potts in the animated movie Beauty and the Beast, has died aged 96. In a statement to the BBC, Lansbury's children confirmed that she died in her sleep just five days before turning 97. "The children of Dame Angela Lansbury are sad to announce that their mother died peacefully in her sleep at home in Los Angeles," the family told the publication.
Lansbury came to international acclaim in the 1944 movie Gaslight, a movie that would eventually spawn the phrase "gaslighting" as it revolved around a man manipulating events to cause a woman distress.
Lansbury played a maid in the film and she was later nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Oscars for her performance.
