14 Essential Angela Lansbury Films You Can Watch Right Now (Vanity Fair)

If you're in need of the comfort of Mrs. Potts or the shrewdness of Jessica Fletcher after the death of Angela Lansbury, here's where you can find them.

In her screen debut, Lansbury established herself as a force to be reckoned with as forthright young maid Nancy Oliver in this psychological thriller from George Kukor. Later in her storied career, she emerged as one of Hollywood's most beloved figures, providing comfort to millions of tiny tots as Mrs. One of the last remaining stars of her generation, Lansbury started her career as a screen siren in Hollywood's studio era, earning Oscar nominations for her work in Gaslight (1944) and The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945), before the Tony awards—of which she'd go on to win six—were even invented.

Within this whodunnit intrigue, Angela Lansbury plays Salome Otterbourne, mayhap the oddest and most comedic figure in the lot. She's a romance novelist who ...

Even in the dramatization of the detective's theory, Lansbury plays up the sloshy gait of the woman, her tipsiness so overbearing it starts to curdle from farce into tragedy. An excursion to the Temple of Karnak allows the actress to explore the indulgent vicissitudes of Salome's sex-obsessed psyche in tandem with her perpetual spot in the liminal space between consciousness and unconsciousness. There's a hammy technique to her overpronunciation, the excited physicality of a tango danced with "a sensuous erotic dash." For her scene-stealing work, Angela Lansbury won the Best Supporting Actress award from the National Board of Review. Confronted by Poirot as a potential suspect, she's an utter mess – so much so that it's hard to believe in her as the killer. We first find her watching the honeymooning Doyles dance the night away, a glass of liquor in hand and a mess of spangles covering her every inch. As soon as she catches a glimpse of Poirot, she's off like a drunk chatterbox, mispronouncing the Belgian's name as porridge while trying and failing to impress him. These bubbles of hatred coming to the surface in moments of broad comedy characterize much of Lansbury's early scenes – a cyclical game of tonal disruptions. Lansbury's a vision of démodé vamp fashions, eyes circled in sloppy eyeshadow and mascara to make her look a bit like a silent movie star aged beyond her prime. That means the action is primarily set on the steamer Karnak, touring the Nile from Shellaf to Wadi Halfa, carrying a cadre of wealthy guests, which includes the newlywed socialite Linnet Doyle. Money is the key to everything, though it's impolite to mention such things in high society. Lansbury worked to the end, maintaining a last vestige of Old Hollywood alive with her.
