 An enjoyable glimpse--yet only a glimpse--into a fascinating life September 18, 2006

4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Angela Lansbury is, without doubt, a national treasure as an actress and has become something of an icon to many. While her television work has made her a durable popular favorite, recognition of her formidable talent and skill as a serious film and stage actress is less widespread, as this biography highlights.
The book is something of a valentine to Ms Lansbury, and while it
does include interesting tidbits of information about her life and work, manages to touch on the main events of her personal and professional life and has a decent offering of quotes from colleagues, friends and Ms Lansbury herself, it is by no means an
in-depth biography of this fascinating, multi-facted woman.
One is keenly aware that much has been left out or unexplored;
it may be that Ms Lansbury's own preference for privacy and the
power and status she possesses have made it difficult for a truly
definitive biography to be created. This is a disappointment.
In the right hands of a gifted biographer with deep access, the richness of Angela Lansbury's background, history, character, accomplishments and life would yield a magnificent theatrical biography.
She is deserving of no less.
 An excellent biography of one of my favorite actresses September 28, 1998
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is a thoughtful, three-dimensional portrait of one of my favorite actresses. It is well-researched, and full of anecdotes about Lansbury's life and thoughtful opinions of her film and television work. I learned much about Lansbury, and would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in her life and career.
