![]() Lansbury, who died on October 11 2022, was a constant presence in film, stage and TV for nearly 70 years. You can listen to more articles from The Conversation, narrated by Noa, here. Disney considered Lansbury for the original casting of Mary Poppins, so it is fitting that one of her last film appearances return full circle to her earlier Hollywood career. ![]() ![]() The younger generation discovered her as Mrs Potts in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast and more recently as the balloon seller in Mary Poppins returns ( a role created as a cameo appearance for Julie Andrews, who turned it down so attention was not taken away from Emily Blunt). Every Sunday evening, I devoured Jessica Fletcher’s activities in Murder, She Wrote – catching the bad guys and saving another poor victim from eternal damnation. I never met Angela Lansbury, but she was one of those icons that felt like a trusted friend and family member.
