Top Famous Tube's video: Angela Lansbury Transformation From 3 To 96 Years Old

Angela Brigid Lansbury was born on October 16, 1925, in Regent's Park, Central London, to actress Moyna Macgill and timber merchant Edgar Lansbury. Her father became a politician, following in the footsteps of her grandfather George Lansbury, who was the leader of the ‘British Labour Party’ and an anti-war activist. She was left devastated after her father died from stomach cancer when she was only nine. She attended ‘South Hampstead High School’ from 1934 to 1939, but was largely self-educated, learning from books, theatre, and cinema. In 1940, she began taking acting classes at the ‘Webber Douglas School of Singing and Dramatic Art’ in Kensington, West London. After the death of her grandfather in 1940, her mother moved to the United States to escape the Blitz. In the US, she gained a scholarship from the ‘American Theatre Wing’ and started studying at the ‘Feagin School of Drama and Radio,’ from where she graduated in 1942. Back in Britain, she had appeared onstage in a school production of Maxwell Anderson's 'Mary of Scotland.' In the US, she initially appeared in performances of William Congreve's 'The Way of the World' and Oscar Wilde's 'Lady Windermere's Fan.'
