Angela Lansbury, star of stage and screen best known to television audiences as mystery writer and amateur sleuth Jessica Fletcher on Murder, She Wrote and who gave voice to the title tune in Beauty and the Beast, died Tuesday at her home in Los Angeles. She was 96.
"The children of Dame Angela Lansbury are sad to announce that their mother died peacefully in her sleep at home in Los Angeles at 1:30 AM today, Tuesday, October 11, 2022, just five days shy of her 97th birthday," her family said in a statement.
Lansbury was a highly decorated actress. She was awarded an Honorary Oscar in 2014 to celebrate her seven-decade film career, and she won six Tony awards, including this year's Lifetime Achievement Awards for her work on the stage. She was nominated for a Grammy Award for her work on the 1993 soundtrack for Beauty and the Beast, in which she voiced Mrs. Potts.
