Angela Lansbury, an icon of film, television and especially theatre, is celebrating her 84th birthday today. The actress is in the middle of a second coming on Broadway. After a 25 year absence, she returned to NY and live theatre with three shows opening in as many years, winning a record-tying fifth Tony Award for her crowdpleasing performance in last season's Blithe Spirit.
Starting this winter she will be seen as the droll, disapproving Madame Armfeldt in the first Broadway revival of Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music with Catherine Zeta-Jones. This will mark Angela's first appearance in a Broadway musical since the 1983 revival of Mame, and her fourteenth Broadway credit.
We are so very lucky to have this international treasure still creating magnificent work, with no signs of stopping or slowing down. In honor of her birthday, I think it's appropriate that we should take a look at Angela, in the '83 Mame, stopping the show with "That's How Young I Feel." Enjoy:

So very fitting! I'm hoping I'll be able to make a trip up to the city while ALNM is running.
