3. I just checked her IMDB profile - she's still working!

One project is in pre production and two are in post production.

She's appearing as Aunt March in a new 'Little Women' mini-series, and the Balloon Lady in 'Mary Poppins Returns'. Both set for 2018.

Bless her!!!

7. I know

She was planning on being on Broadway this past season in The Chalk Garden but then realized on stage every night would be too much for her. Great that she's still working

Actually, she was pretty great in everything.

9. I became I lifelong fan after this scene:

........"But now, we have come almost to the end. One last step. And then when I take power, they will be pulled down and ground into dirt for what they did to you. And what they did in so contemptuously underestimating me."

10. She would have gotten an Oscar for that had JFK not been

Assisnated. The movie came out shortly before thay, t he the murde, and the movie didn't do so.well. it hit too close to home

[LeftinOH]

11. Minor point, but the film came out in 1962, and she was

nominated for her role in the awards cycle at the beginning of 1963. The assassination, of course, was late in the year... several months after the Oscars. But because of the assassination, the film disappeared for years. Yes, she still should have won.

12. That's what I'd always heard

She does evil great. Ever see State of the Union?

[LeftinOH]

13. Yep. She was only in her early 20s on that one,

and she overshadows Tracy & Hepburn, IMO.

14. No one outshines Katherine the Great!

She was probably 20 years older than Angela and Spencer was 30 years older, but they played around the same age. Angel was I think younger or only a couple years older than Laurence Harvey in Manchurian Candidate.

Anway, Angela was very cold in State of the Union and very believable.

16. She was also great as the cockney maid in "Gaslight" with Ingrid Bergman and

Charles Boyer. If you have never seen the film, it should definitely be on your list.

17. Her first film role. She was great as the...

Nasty little piece of work!

18. Thanks for the reminder! She's a favorite of mine, too!

I first got to know her watching "Murder, She Wrote" with my grandmother, but she had a brilliant career long before that. And she was also a real knock out! I'm always glad to hear she's still going strong! Wishing her a most happy birthday - and many more!

19. I will have to watch episodes of Murder, She Wrote in her honor.

I just finished my Columbo box set so I need a new mystery series to go through.
